All Aboard Caregiver

The application covers general medical questions. While none of the All Aboard staff are medical providers, we strive to protect our participants' health as best we can. We are not responsible for diet restrictions. Please send appropriate snacks if medically necessary.

All snack and lunch times are monitored by staff members. Our staff have food handlers’ licenses. Please do not bring food for others or share food. Exceptions include staff approved commercially baked birthday treats – to be served by staff. Lunch time is 12-12:30. Healthy snacks are passed around by staff at 10am and 2pm daily at no extra charge. 1. If a participant intends to stay at All Aboard for the entire day (both sessions), they will be required to bring an appropriate lunch each day (limited in sugar and caffeine). If a participant is staying for the full day and does not bring a lunch, a lunch may be provided and charged $5 to the participant's account. 2. We don't provide refrigeration for packed lunches and snacks, but a microwave is available. 3. The "Snack Shack" is open daily and offers snacks for purchase. Items vary and are based upon requests of the participants (up to 2 requests each). There are also a few lunch items like microwaveable mac-n-cheese or ravioli. Snacks are $0.50, Soft drinks are $1.00, and Lunch items are $2.00.

Caregiver is responsible for the participant in their charge, only. Caregivers will not interfere with staff when staff is handling a situation with another participant, unless asked for their assistance or there appears to be imminent danger and assistance is required. Caregiver will respect requests made by staff. Caregiver understands that if their participant continues to act out in a disruptive behavior, staff may ask the caregiver to take the participant home while we assess the next steps.

1. All Aboard reserves the right to remove a participant if he/she poses a safety threat to staff members or other participants.2. All participants must be at least 18 years of age and be able to feed themselves and care for themselves while in the restroom. All Aboard DOES NOT provide individual assistance with feeding or in the restroom with the exception of emergencies. Repeated need for assistance will require the participant to bring a parent/guardian/caregiver with them while attending All Aboard. 3. All participants must annually update registration and emergency contact information when requested. 4. Participants must abide by All Aboard rules and follow the directions of instructors.

Some of our participants may have issues with behaviors that disrupt activities and scare other participants. Caregiver will do their best to remove the disruptive participant to a calm area and help them with calming exercises. We reserve the right to refuse service to participants that cause disruption to our activities.

Participants may not attend when they have been suspended, have been notified that they may not attend due to causing disruption to our activities, or have an unpaid bill older than 30 days.

Expensive items should not be brought to All Aboard as staff will not be held responsible for their loss. Unidentified items that are found will be held in our "Lost and Found" for up to 30 days.

Please report contagious conditions to the All Aboard office staff when they occur. We reserve the right to require a note from a healthcare provider prior to the participant's return. A participant should stay home at the first sign of a communicable disease. By doing so, you are protecting the All Aboard community from exposure to the illness. Signs a participant should stay home: 1. FEVER: A participant should remain at home if they have a fever higher than 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit (the CDC considers a person to have a fever at that temperature. The participant may return to All Aboard after they have maintained a normal temperature (between 97 and 100.3 degrees F) for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicine (such as Tylenol or Motrin).2. VOMITING: If a participant has vomited in the last 24 hours, they should not be sent to All Aboard. 3. DIARRHEA: If a participant has had three or more watery stools in a 24-hour period, they should be kept home and return only after being symptom-free for 24 hours. 4. COLDS: It is important for a participant to stay home at the beginning of a cold, as it is the most infectious time and when she/he feels the worst. Please keep the participant at home if they are experiencing discomfort that would interfere with their ability to participate activities (e.g. coughing, severe lack of energy). If the participant experiences green or yellow nasal discharge that continues throughout the day, a cough that lasts longer than 10 days, or is accompanied by a fever or chills and is productive of discolored sputum, please consult with your physician. The participant should only return to All Aboard when they no longer have symptoms and feel well. 5. COUGH OR CONGESTION: The participant should remain home if the cough or congestion interferes with breathing and/or if wheezing. 6. CONJUNCTIVITIS (PINK EYE): Following a diagnosis of bacterial conjunctivitis, the participant may only return to All Aboard 24 hours after antibiotic treatment has begun. Participants with viral infection may return when eyes are clear. 7. COXSACKIEVIRUS (HAND, FOOT, AND MOUTH DISEASE): A participant must stay home during the acute stage of illness during fever or while lesions are present.8. HEAD LICE: A participant may return to All Aboard only after treatment and when hair is free of nits. The participant's head will be checked by staff. The participant will be sent home if they arrive at All Aboard before the required 24-hour healing period. The participant must be picked up within ONE HOUR. If they are not picked up within one hour, All Aboard will charge $75 per hour for isolation care.
