Introducing the Cozy Care Room at Little Wonders Preschool

At Little Wonders Preschool, we prioritize the health and well-being of every child in our care. We understand that young children are particularly susceptible to minor illnesses, which can be challenging for both parents and educators to manage. To address this, we are excited to introduce our new Cozy Care Room—a dedicated space designed to provide comfort and care for mildly ill children who need extra attention but do not require exclusion from school.


Why a Cozy Care Room?


Children often experience mild illnesses that don’t necessarily warrant a day at home but do need some special care and observation. The Cozy Care Room is our solution to ensure that these children receive the care they need while allowing parents to continue with their day, knowing their child is in a safe and nurturing environment.


Key Features of the Cozy Care Room


1. Comfortable and Safe Environment

The Cozy Care Room is equipped with soft bedding, pillows, and gentle lighting to create a soothing atmosphere where children can rest and recuperate. We provide stuffed animals and soft toys to comfort children and help them feel at ease.


2. Hygiene and Sanitation

We maintain the highest standards of hygiene and sanitation in the Cozy Care Room. A handwashing station with soap, water, and disposable towels is readily available. We use disinfectant wipes and sprays to clean surfaces and toys regularly, ensuring a germ-free environment.


3. First Aid and Medical Supplies

Our Cozy Care Room is stocked with a basic first aid kit, including band-aids, antiseptic wipes, and gauze pads for minor injuries.


4. Monitoring and Documentation

Staff members in the Cozy Care Room are trained to monitor vital signs, such as temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate, and work of breathing. We keep detailed records of each child’s symptoms, care provided, and any changes in their condition. This documentation ensures that parents are kept informed and that we can provide the best possible care.


5. Effective Communication with Parents

Communication is key to our approach in the Cozy Care Room. We provide daily logs that detail each child’s symptoms, care, and any notable observations. Our staff is trained to communicate effectively with parents, providing updates on their child’s condition and any recommended follow-up care.



When Should a Child Use the Cozy Care Room?


Children with mild illnesses that do not meet the criteria for exclusion from school are eligible to use the Cozy Care Room. Examples include mild asthma symptoms, common colds without fever, or minor skin irritations. However, children with more serious symptoms—such as a high fever, severe rash, persistent cough, or vomiting—will be sent home and should not use the Cozy Care Room.


Additional Fee for Cozy Care Room Services


Please note that there is an additional fee for using the Cozy Care Room. This fee covers the specialized care and resources provided to ensure your child’s comfort and health. Payment must be made in advance to secure your child’s admission to the Cozy Care Room.


How to Register for the Cozy Care Room


To use the Cozy Care Room, parents must complete a registration form that details the child’s symptoms and provides emergency contact information. Additionally, there is a pre-payment requirement for the Cozy Care Room services to ensure a smooth admission process.


Conclusion


The Cozy Care Room at Little Wonders Preschool is an extension of our commitment to providing a safe, healthy, and supportive environment for all children. By offering this dedicated space, we aim to give parents peace of mind while ensuring that mildly ill children receive the care they need to recover and thrive. We believe that with the Cozy Care Room, we can better serve our preschool community, keeping children healthy and happy.
