Health Policy

We want to keep your child—and the children of other families—healthy and happy. Please look over our Well-Child Health Policy below when determining if you should bring your child to his/her ministry program.

A sick child may have one or more of the following symptoms:

• A fever over 99.6 degrees currently or for the last 24 hours
• Vomiting or diarrhea currently or for the last 24 hours
• Runny nose with a thick, colored mucus
• Unexplained rashes
• Skin infections (impetigo, boils or ringworms)
• Eye infections
• Childhood diseases such as chicken pox, mumps, measles, rubella, pertussis or scarlet fever.

If a child currently has any of the above symptoms, the leader will not be able to accept the child into the classroom. If a child develops any of the above symptoms while in our care, we will ask you to come and get him/her.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated and will help protect the health of all of our children.

Safety & Security Policies

• Each child is checked into an electronic check-in system producing a matching parent/child security tag that is used for pick-up. Without proper parent tag, the child is not released until verification from a Sugar Hill Kids staff member.
• All Sugar Hill Kids leaders have been properly background checked.
• Sugar Hill Kids leaders are trained in emergency procedures including fire, weather, and lockdown.
• We ask that parents, grandparents, or family friends remain outside of the classroom during drop-off/pick-up to ensure safety of the other children in the classroom.
• Allergy alert signs are posted outside of classroom doors when children are tasting, touching, or smelling certain items.
• To avoid allergic reactions, preschool children have morning snack approved by the Kids Ministry Office.
• Our media release allows parents to protect their child by opting out of posting pictures on any of our social media platforms – just email kids@sugarhillchurch.com to let us know.
• A uniformed officer assists our security team and is located between preschool and elementary areas each week.
