  • EMERGENCY MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION

  •  - -


  • Should my child listed above suffer an injury or illness while in the care of SoulShine Preschool and they are unable to contact me (us) immediately, it shall be authorized to secure such medical attention and care for the child as may be necessary. I (We)   *   *   shall assume responsibility for payment for services.

  • SOULSHINE PRESCHOOL MEDICAL EMERGENCY POLICY

    In the event of a medical emergency, SoulShine Preschool will attempt to contact the parents and/or designated emergency contact persons. If these individuals cannot be reached, "911" will be called in order to have the most immediate medical help available for the needs of the child. If a contacted individual cannot pick up the child, and there is a medical emergency, SoulShine Preschool will release the child to the paramedics. A staff person will accompany the child and paramedics to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (Egleston Hospital).

  • FOUR WEEKS’ NOTICE REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW OR CANCEL

    A minimum of four weeks’ written notice is required to withdraw your child or cancel a reserved position. Notify us by emailing DIRECTOR@makeyoursoulshine.com.

    If notice is not given, then you will be charged tuition for each week up to four weeks. The last day of enrollment must fall on the last day of the week of the fourth week. This applies even if your child is not attending. If you decide not to bring your child to SoulShine Preschool after you have accepted a confirmed classroom space, you must provide four weeks’ notice of cancellation or pay equivalent tuition up to four weeks. There will be no exception to the requirement for four weeks’ notice.

    Transitioning to Summer Camp

    Many of the 4-year old students who are heading to PreK or Kindergarten each fall choose to move to a SoulShine Summer Camp for the summer, instead of remaining in the Preschool. Parents must be aware that, even though they are transitioning to another SoulShine program, the four weeks’ notice of withdrawal is still required. Registration for Summer Camp cannot serve as notice of withdrawal.

     

    WITHDRAWAL REQUEST

    I understand the withdrawal policy defined by SoulShine and agree to be bound by said policy. I attest that I am the parent or legal guardian of the child(ren) listed above.

  • PLEASE NOTE:

    All bottles must be supplied each day, premixed and ready to serve. SoulShine will store all bottles in the classroom refrigerator and will warm if preferred before serving. All bottles must go home each day. All children under 6 months of age will be held for feeding. At 6 months+, if able, the child will self feed by holding their own bottle.

    All children must drink formula or breast milk until 12 months of age. No child will be served cow’s milk.

  • FEEDING SCHEDULE
    Please list your child’s current feeding schedule. This will be followed as closely as possible. Please update as changes occur.

                
                
              
             
             
             

  • TRANSITION TO SOULSHINE-MADE MEALS

    When your child has mastered purees and is ready to move to the next step, we ask that you start introducing solid foods at home. Once your child is able to tolerate whole foods at home, we will start serving those at SoulShine. Your child must be able to sit in a feeding chair, grasp the food and feed themselves.

    Meals will be served in an infant-friendly manner. For example, if salad is listed on the menu and consists of lettuce, we will serve the infant classrooms the steamed vegetable and/or fruit toppings. Or if the dressing to a meal consists of honey, the infant classroom will not receive that component.

    Please note that once your child is approved to eat SoulShine-made meals, the meals may include dairy, wheat, eggs, herbs, and spices. However, SoulShine is a Nut-Free facility. 

    If your child has a sensitivity and/or allergies, please alert your location director and submit an Allergy Action Plan from your physician.
