Single Parent--Sick Child Care. Final Report from July 1, 1986 to June 30, 1987.
Sarasota County Vocational-Technical Center, Sarasota, FL.
These two manuals from the Pokie Days Child Care Program for Mildly Ill Children in Sarasota, Florida, were developed as part of a project intended to make it easier for single parents to attend classes funded under the Job Training Partnership Act. Following a brief description of the project, the first manual outlines standards of care for working with young children who have mild cases of one or more of the following health problems: diaper rash, diarrhea, vomiting, seizures, poisoning, elevated temperature, and skin problems. Safety procedures and procedures for administering medication are also detailed. The guide concludes with a list of telephone numbers of emergency services, pediatricians, and family practitioners in the Sarasota area. The second publication in the package is a policy and procedural manual containing guidelines and forms for use in maintaining appropriate records concerning the following: registration, discipline policy, student assessment, student progress, student medications, unusual incidents, fire drills, personnel, and attendance. A program guide for parents of potential enrollees is also included. It contains information on why the center was established, who can attend, fees, alternative sources of care for children too ill to attend the center, center procedures when children's conditions deteriorate during the day, the qualifications of caregivers at the center, the center's acceptance procedures, items that parents need to bring to the center from home, special services available for infants, and the center's schedule of activities and discipline policies.
