To enroll children at Bizi Kidz, parents can either complete the Registration Form online or in person at the center.

Procedures for Release of Children

Children will ONLY be released to an authorized person listed on their account. Any authorized person will be required to provide a valid government issued photo identification before the child will be released. If parents or other emergency contacts cannot be reached after 30 minutes past closing, the BurlingtonPolice Department will be contacted. If at any time Bizi Kidz staff feels uncomfortable releasing a child to an individual, the Burlington Police Department will be called.

payment information

Bizi Kidz accepts cash and credit/debit cards. We do not accept checks. Payment is due upon pick-up based on the current hourly rate unless child has credit on account from Prepaid Packages. Rates are calculated in 15 minute increments with a one hour minimum charge. Bizi Kidz offers Pre-Paid Packages which are applied to the account. There are no refunds on prepaid packages or unused credits. Once the prepaid credit is depleted, rates return back to the normal rates unless another prepaid package is purchased. Parents may purchase snacks at the listed price. There is a fee of $1.50 per diaper if Bizi Kidz diapers are used.

If a child(ren) are picked up past Bizi Kidz normal closing times, a late fee of $1 per minute per child will be charged in addition to the normal childcare rate. If a child is consistently picked up after closing hours Bizi Kidz reserves the right to refuse future services.

discipline & guidance

Bizi Kidz uses positive methods of discipline and guidance. Discipline will be individualized and consistent for each child, appropriate to the child’s age, level of understanding, and directed toward teaching the child acceptable behavior and self-control. A caregiver will use positive methods of discipline and guidance that encourage self-esteem, self-control, and self-direction, including the following:

o Using praise and encouragement of good behavior instead of focusing only upon unacceptable behavior

o Reminding a child of behavior expectations daily by using clear, positive statements

o Redirecting behavior using positive statements

o Using brief supervised separation from the group, when appropriate for the child’s age and development

illness & health check

The health and well-being of each child at Bizi Kidz is of utmost importance, therefore we will strictly adhere to the following illness and exclusion criteria:

o Fever as measured by a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher

o Vomiting

o Swelling/redness of the throat

o Constant cough

o Extreme fatigue/lethargy

o Head lice

o Reddened/draining/crusty eyes

o Skin rash

o Bumps on hands, feet and/or throat

o Uncontrollable diarrhea

o Mouth sores

If a child becomes ill while in our care a parent or authorized pick-up person must arrive at the childcare center as soon as possible.

A child must be fever free and symptom free without the use of fever relieving or other medications for a period of 24 hours before they will be allowed to return to the center.

We may conduct a quick health check before the parents leave. A health check is a visual or physical assessment of a child to identify potential concerns about a child’s health, including signs or symptoms of illness and injury. The results of the health check will be determined by the center’s staff, not the parent, on whether or not the child remains in care for that day.

incidents & accidents

At Bizi Kidz, precautions will be made to minimize accidents and ensure the safety of the children. If an injury occurs, after tending to the child, the parent will be contacted depending on the severity of the injury. Parents will need to sign an incident report for all injuries that leave a mark when the child is picked up. If an incident occurs by one child due to the actions of another child, we cannot give parents information about who injured whom for confidentiality purposes.

diaper changing & potty training

Bizi Kidz changes all diapers (both disposable and cloth) regularly while the children are in our care. Parents must provide diapers/changing supplies for their child. Bizi Kidz will provide diapers/wipes for a charge of $1.50/diaper if not supplied by parents. If cloth diapers are being used, we ask parents to bring a bag that closes to store soiled diapers. Please make sure the child has a change of clothes in their bag.

Parents should let a staff member know at drop off when their child is potty training so we can assist by taking the child to the restroom regularly. We ask parents of children who are potty training to please bring them into the center wearing a pull-up until they are fully potty trained for playroom sanitary reasons. Please make sure the child has a change of clothes in their bag.

suspsension and explusion

At Bizi Kidz the safety of the children and staff are of the upmost importance to us. We adhere to a three strike policy. A strike may be given for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to aggressive or disrespectful behavior towards other children or staff and behavioral issues. Parents will have to sign a Behavior Report when a strike is issued. After 3 strikes, a child will be suspended for 3 months. After a child has been suspended for 3 months and returns, the strike policy is reinstated. If the child receives 3 more strikes they could potentially be permanently suspended from the facility depending on the circumstances. Bizi Kidz reserves the right to bypass this process and suspend or expel a child immediately if the situation merits such action.

parent code of conduct

Please understand young children are present in our building. Some adult language is not appropriate for young children. Bizi Kidz prohibits swearing or cursing in our facility. Threatening staff, children, or other parents will not be tolerated. Bizi Kidz has the right to terminate care in the event of disruptive behavior from a parent or guardian. In the event that a parent is dissatisfied with any situation at Bizi Kidz, parents are to maintain composure and handle issues professionally. Please request a phone call from the owner/operator if the issue is not resolved in person. Any behavior that places a child at risk will lead to immediate dismissal from Bizi Kidz.
