Anaphylaxis. Has your child been diagnosed by a physician with a LIFE-THREATENING ALLERGY? ☐ Yes ☐ No
Anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis is a severe allergic reaction that can be caused by foods, insect stings, medications, latex or other substances. At the time of registration, parents are asked about medical conditions, including whether children are at risk of anaphylaxis and asthma. All staff, students and volunteers must be aware of these children. If there is a child with an Anaphylactic reaction to food and/or product, i.e. latex, you will be notified and asked to not send your child with whatever that item may be. For example, if there is a peanut allergy and your child has had peanut butter for breakfast, we ask that you ensure that all traces are washed from their face, clothes and hands and their teeth brushed before coming to the program. If your child has an allergy that requires an Epi-Pen, you will be asked to review our Anaphylaxis Policy and obtain certain documentation from your child’s physician. A full Anaphylaxis Policy is available at your child care program.

Parents may wish to make special dietary and feeding arrangements regarding food/drink in order to meet the individual nutritional needs of their child. This may include an arrangement where the parent chooses to provide the meals and/or snacks for the child, or the parent supplements the meals and snacks provided by the program. Where a child requires special foods and/or feeding arrangements at meal times and/or snack times, it is important that the expectations and responsibilities of both the program and the parent are clearly set in writing.
