-Parents will accompany their child(ren) into my home, as I cannot assume responsibility for a child dropped off outside my door.

- Children will only be released to an authorized adult.

- Children will only be accepted and released in the presence of the caregiver or substitute and the parent/guardian.

- If someone other than the parent/guardian is collecting the child(ren), they must notify me, otherwise I will not release the child.

- No child will be released to any adult without the permission of the parent/guardian.

- If parents are unavoidably delayed in collecting their child, they must phone and inform me, with arrangements to have their child picked up by a someone of their choice.

- I will not release any child to their parent/guardian (or any person) if they appear to be intoxicated or outwardly, emotionally unstable.

-If the parent/guardian is intoxicated or are late and I am unable to contact either parent(s) and I am unable to contact any alternatives, then, as a last resort, I am obliged to call the Ministry for Children and Families (572-3747).
