INTRODUCTION

TodayCare Children’s Center provides unique child care programs for the children of John Muir Health. A team made up of experienced child care providers, a registered nurse, and the Center Director provides the comprehensive care that your child needs.  The California Department of Social Services licenses TodayCare Children’s Center.   John Muir Health subsidizes the cost of the programs as an employee benefit.  The types of care offered and descriptions are as follows:

v                 Transitional Child Care is for parents returning from maternity leave and/or who have recently adopted a child.  Transitional child care is available for up to 12 weeks upon their return to work. Care will be individualized to meet your child’s needs.  The transitional child care program also includes a comfortable area for mothers to nurse their infants.

v                 Back-up Care is for those days when your regular child care arrangements are not available.  Examples include school holidays or teacher in-service days; child care is closed; or your nanny is ill.  Employees are allowed 45 days per year (based on calendar year) to use Back-up care at their discretion.  The back-up program is based upon using creativity and imagination to stimulate and teach outside a normal developmental curriculum.  Your child will have the opportunity to paint, draw, build with blocks, play a board game, or even perfect their computer skills.  Children will also have the opportunity to play outdoors.   

v                 Mildly Ill Care is for days when your child has a mild illness or is recovering from a more serious illness.  For example, your child has a low grade fever, cold symptoms or earache, or he is recovery from a tonsillectomy.  A nurse will monitor your child’s condition and notify you of any changes while a child care provider comforts and entertains your child.  Mildly ill care is not limited, as long as the child and the illness meets our criteria. 

Our goal is to provide parents or guardians with a child care choice that is easy to make.  We will provide a safe and caring environment for your child when participation in the regular school or care routine is not possible and you still need to go to work.

Admissions

TodayCare admits children without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin or ancestry. We also do not discriminate on the basis of special needs as long as we are able to provide a safe, supportive environment for your child.

Parents are encouraged to visit with their children prior to admission to familiarize themselves with the center and meet our staff.
