Health and Safety:
Health Policy: Your child’s health is a matter of importance to all of us. While
Lights On in Lander is not equipped to look after sick children, we understand that
parents rely on the program to provide care on a regular basis. Lights On in Lander
always tries to balance these conflicting needs and asks you to do so also. If a child
is not well, please make every effort to keep him or her at home, as illnesses
spreads rapidly in spite of everyone’s best efforts.
When children become ill: In the case of mild illness, the child’s parent or
guardian will be contacted. The child will be made comfortable, isolated as much as
possible from the other children, and closely watched until a parent or guardian
arrives to pick him or her up.
