This morning as I was taking pampers and wipes out of one of my dck's diaper bag a roach crawled out. That really had me freaking out. I've never had a problem with any pests in my home daycare before and I really don't want it to become one. So I decided the best plan of action was to no longer allow any diaper bag. Only two of my dc families bring them, and all the other dck's have their things in their cubbies. I was looking around for some guidelines/policies that others have on diaper bags but I wasn't having any luck finding anything. Not sure if I explained it well, but this is the note I sent home.
Good Afternoon Parents:
Please note we will no longer be accepting any diaper bags/backpacks into the Daycare. Starting on Monday: 05/17/21, parent’s will be required to bring all items needed for care in a plastic bag/large ziploc bag.
This includes but not limited to: diapers/pull-ups, wipes, diaper cream, change of clothes, bibs, bottles, formula, pacifiers and comfort items... All supplies will be kept in your child’s cubby and I will let you know once your child is running low on any items.
If you have any questions please feel free to call or text me.
Thank You!
Receiving some pushback from one dcm, her child is the youngest I currently have in care dcb is 7 months. She said she's fine with leaving a pack of wipes and pampers in dcb's cubby, and she can understand why I'm implementingthepolicy because of anyone bringing any bugs into the daycare (her words, I didn't tell any of the dcf's the reason behind the policy). However she wants his bottles sent back home each day so she can sanitize them, and doesn't want to have two formulas open one at home and at daycare, and she also doesn't want his allergy medicine or clothes to stay here. I don't remember the reason why. I told dcm she could send the bottles each morning in a plastic bag or ziploc and I would send them back in the evening with dcd. Dcm said since he's the youngest and has a lot of stuff unlike the older dck's and that she couldn't see why she couldn't keep bringing in his bag.
Any advice on this situation, have any of you experienced anything similar. Do you allow infants to bring in diaper bags/what is your policy on bringing in supplies and how/when they should be brought in? Need some help...
