Administering Medication . ;
Children must not be administered any medication without first
consulting with the lab director. Medication can only be given after
first receiving written permission from a parent and written direction
from a physician. When you administer any medication, you must
make a written record which includes name of the child, name of
person administering the medication, type of medication, time, date
and dosage of medication. A copy of this record must be given to a
parent when the child is picked up from school.
Assisting with Medical Equipment
Parents whose children have any sort of medical equipment, either
pumps or tubes attached to the child or aids for hearing, walking,
etc. must provide a detailed instruction sheet to guide teachers in the
event they need to attend to the child regarding their equipment.
Special Medical Conditions
Before the first day of lab, each staff member needs to be aware of
any special medical conditions (e.g. allergies, medication, diabetes,
epilepsy, etc.) of any child in her lab. The supervisor must report
any special medical condition or need of children to the lab director
and Child Lab manager.
Health Concerns
All students that work in the child labs must be tested for
Tuberculosis (TB Test). Student teachers are responsible for
obtaining a TB test and must submit proof of a negative lab result to
the lab manager before the first day of preschool or toddler lab. TB
test results are not available until two days after the initial test.
Students with a positive lab test or those who do not submit written
proof of a negative lab result before the first day of school, will not
be able to attend the lab. Students who have had a TB test within
two years will not need to repeat another test if they provide a copy
of the negative results of the test prior to the first day of lab.
Immunizations
Children who attend must submit proof of immunizations or a signed
certificate of exemption prior to attending. Supervisors must notify
