Policies and Procedures
At Casper’s Early Learning Co-operative Centre, our policies and procedures are in place to ensure a safe, consistent, and high-quality learning environment for all children, families, and staff. These guidelines cover important areas but not all such as health and safety, nutrition, child guidance, supervision, communication, inclusion, confidentiality, and emergency preparedness. By following clear procedures, we create routines that children can trust, support staff in their daily responsibilities, and provide families with transparency and reassurance about the care their children are receiving.
We have these policies and procedures because they help us maintain compliance with childcare licensing regulations and uphold the standards required for early learning centres. They also ensure fairness and consistency in how we approach different situations, whether it is administering medication, handling allergies, guiding children’s behavior, or responding to emergencies. Most importantly, they reflect our commitment to protecting children’s well-being, fostering positive relationships, and creating an environment where every child feels safe, valued, and supported in their growth and development.
As we prepare for our upcoming expansion, Casper’s leadership and Board of Directors will be reviewing and updating our policy manual to ensure it aligns with our growing needs and commitment to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for our children. This update is intended to support our expansion and ensure our policies continue to reflect best practices, compliance with regulations, and the high-quality care you expect from Casper’s Early Learning Co-operative Centre.
​
By having clear policies and procedures, we build a strong foundation of trust between families and educators, ensuring that expectations are understood and respected by everyone involved in our community.
We encourage all families and staff to take the time to review the sections of our policies and procedures. Being familiar with these guidelines ensures that everyone works together with the same understanding and expectations, creating a stronger, safer, and more supportive community for our children.
