Sick Child Policy

 It is our desire to provide a healthy and safe environment, and parents/guardians are encouraged to be considerate of others when deciding to place a minor in our care. Though we are taking precautions to help keep everyone safe, we cannot eliminate the risk of flu/covid exposure and need everyone's help. Children displaying any flu-like or COVID symptoms will be separated from the other children and caregivers will be contacted to pick-up their child. We kindly ask that you follow the safety protocols established by your health-care provider and stay home. Thank you for your compilance with these policies and procedures that will help protect us all and allow us to gather in worship together.

Accidental Injuries

In the event a minor is injured while in our care, the following steps should be followed: 1. For insignificant injuries, scrapes, and bruises, workers will provide first aid as appropriate and will notify the minor’s parent or guardian of the injury at the time the minor is picked up. 2. For injuries requiring medical treatment beyond simple first aid, the parent and/or guardian will immediately be summoned. If warranted by circumstances, an ambulance can be called by parent/guardian or worker. 3. Once a minor has received appropriate medical attention, an Accident/Injury Report Form will be completed and kept on file at the church.

Restroom Guidelines for Adults Caring for Children in the Nursery/Little Lambs

Because the Evangelical Covenant Church of Hinsdale seeks high safety standards to protect the children who participate in our programming, we are requesting your informed consent regarding your child's restroom or toileting needs when he/she is under the care of the nursery/toddler room. The members of the staff of these rooms have been instructed and trained according to the Restroom Guidelines below. The staff and volunteer workers will take every reasonable precaution to provide a safe and healthy environment for all children while they are involved in the ministries of the church.
