CHILDRENS RECORDS

As per Licensing Regulations:

Parents/Guardians must give complete records prior to the start of Child Care Services.  All children's files will be stored in a locked file cabinet and will be available to Caregivers, Licensing Officers and the Courts when there is a subpoena.  All information is kept confidential.  Files will be kept for at least 7 years.  After seven years, files will be shredded and the paper recycled. 

This may change as per Licensing Regulations.

Daily observations worth noting will be recorded in the child's file.  Reports of allegations/disclosures of abuse will be stored separate from the child's file.
