✅AGE REQUIREMENT FOR NEW ENROLLMENTS 

8 weeks to 4 years old

🚫 (Toddlers that are currently being Potty Trained 

will not be accepted as New Enrollments)

 🛑 All children that are 5 months and older are 

required to enroll in a “One Week Trial Period”.

Please keep in mind that I never force a child to stay 

at Daycare if they don’t want to stay. 

Your child must be willing to stay at Daycare

 without crying at Drop off time! 

Prolonged stress and anxiety is not healthy for anyone,

especially for young children! 

Yes, everyone has stress from time to time,

whether from work, financial trouble, family problems, or 

facing a big life change, like moving.

Constant stress is another story. 

Chronic or long-term stress affects your heart ♥️ health!

If your child does not adapt happily and comfortably 

to the Daycare Program’s routine and environment 

within 5 consecutive days and 

therefore develops separation anxiety symptoms, 

which are triggered by prolonged stress, 

the childcare enrollment will be terminated by Friday,

without a two week notice.

Daily Rate for a “One Week Trial Period”

$100 per day 

(Non-refundable $500 Deposit is required to enroll) 

*If child passes the One Week Trial Period, 

$160 Weekly Fee will be due by Friday

in order to keep their Daycare Spot reserved. 

✅ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS AND AVAILABILITY 

The “Enrollment Process” is required to begin 

AFTER your baby is born, 

and it is completed with 4️⃣ Easy Steps; 

1️⃣ Phone Consultation (Free) 5-15 minutes 

If there is a spot available for your child,

 you will be asked to read all pages in this Website completely 

before you may move forward with the Enrollment Process. 

Reading this Website completely will take about one hour of your time, 

but it will help you compare my Daycare Program 

with other Daycare Centers or Child Care Centers in Amarillo,

 and save you a lot of time with your Child Care Search! 

2️⃣ Phone Interview (Free) 15 minutes-1 Hour, or longer 

You will asked to submit the Inquiry Form in Contact Page

Your appointment request must be approved.

for a limited time, and without a Deposit or Payment due.

3️⃣ Private Tour (Free) 15 minutes 

*Siblings, Friends, and Relatives will not be allowed 

to attend due to limited space during the Tour.

4️⃣ Childcare Enrollment ($480) 5-15 minutes 

A non-refundable Three Week Deposit must be paid 

to complete Enrollment and reserve a Daycare Spot.

*(Three Week Deposit is only applicable to 

enrollees younger than 5 months old)

 IMMEDIATE OR UPCOMING CHILDCARE OPENINGS

 MAY BE AVAILABLE AT LUISA’S CHILD CARE!

MAKE YOUR RESERVATION SOON!

🚫THE MONTHS OF JUNE AND DECEMBER ARE 

BLOCKED-OUT FOR NEW ENROLLMENTS,

AND CHILD CARE ENROLLMENT RESERVATIONS 

MAY NOT BE MADE DURING THESE MONTHS!

📝 When Daycare Program is fully enrolled or booked, 

a “Waiting List” will be available ONLY for newborns to 4 years old.

 When you are completely ready to begin the 

Enrollment Process for your child, please “Contact” 

Luisa’s Child Care directly to be notified of any 

immediate or upcoming childcare openings. 

When immediate openings for childcare enrollment 

are pending, due to fully booked interview appointments, 

I can put you on a “Waiting List” in case someone 

cancels, reschedules, or misses their scheduled 

appointment and gave no prior notice.

*(All appointments are booked on a first come, first served basis) 

*Available Childcare Openings may be “reserved” 

at your earliest convenience after your baby is born, 

if enrollment is preferred before 8 weeks of age,

with a paid Three Week Deposit of $480 (non-refundable)

and with a Weekly paid Childcare Enrollment Fee 

of $160 that is due every week on Friday, for as long as 

your baby’s Childcare Enrollment is reserved. 

However, please keep in mind that your baby may not 

begin attending Daycare until at least 8 weeks of age 

and must also be up to date with immunizations. 

This Regulation is strictly for your baby’s Health & Safety. 

An infant’s immune system doesn’t mature 

until around 2 to 3 months of age. 

This is very important in helping a child 

fight off viruses or bacteria.

⚠️IMPORTANT NOTICE: 

Regarding Children aged 5 months and older

Children in this age group usually take longer to adapt

to a new Daycare Environment and Daily Routine,

which may cause symptoms of

separation anxiety for a prolonged time! 

A Public Daycare, with more than one Childcare Provider,

will be a better fit for children in this age group.

However, each child is different. Some adapt better than others. 

Therefore, if you believe your child will adapt well 

to a new Daycare environment and routine, 

then you are more than welcome to enroll your child 

at Luisa’s Child Care in a “One Week Trial Period”. 

The downside of a Trial Period depends mainly on 

your child’s personality. It can be a great option if they 

can go with the flow and easily warm up to new places

and people. On the other hand, if your child needs to be 

prepared and likes to know what to expect, you may want 

to reconsider your options. You know your child best 

so trust your gut on whether a One Week Trial Period 

at Luisa’s Child Care will work for your family. 

*(Children that are younger than 5 months old 

do not qualify for a One Week Trial Period)

✅The best age to start Daycare

is before your baby is 6 months old. 

Stranger Anxiety is a perfectly normal developmental 

stage that often begins around 6 to 8 months of age.

Most babies start teething at around 6 months of age.

Baby teeth sometimes emerge with pain or discomfort. 

For these reasons, you might notice your baby fussing, 

or wanting to be held or comforted more often. 

At 6 months of age, your baby should receive 

additional vaccines recommended by your Pediatrician. 

Sometimes children have mild reactions from shots, 

such as pain at the injection site, a rash, or a fever. 

Taking all of the above into consideration, 

it is recommended that you do not begin childcare 

at 6 to 12 months of age when possible. 

Not every child is the same and some may experience 

separation anxiety at different ages. 

No matter their age, I believe that it is important to stay 

consistent, and create short, fun goodbye routines. 

Dropping off your baby at Daycare for the first time 

can be challenging for everyone involved. 

To make it easier for parents and their baby with 

the transition from home care to full time childcare, 

Enrollment & Attendance at Luisa’s Child Care 

is highly recommended to take place 

at least 4 weeks before baby is 6 months old. 

WHAT IS “SEPARATION ANXIETY” AND

HOW CAN YOU AVOID IT AFTER ENROLLMENT?

SEPARATION ANXIETY IS A DISORDER IN WHICH A 

CHILD BECOMES EXCESSIVELY ANXIOUS 

WHEN SEPARATED FROM PARENTS. 

THIS MAY CAUSE A CHILD TO CRY AND CLING TO A PARENT 

AT DROP-OFF TIME OR BE CONSTANTLY FUSSY DURING THE DAY 

WHILE ATTENDING THEIR DAYCARE PROGRAM. 

SEPARATION ANXIETY IS ALSO A NORMAL STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT 

FOR INFANTS, TODDLERS, AND PRESCHOOLERS. 

HOWEVER, “CONSISTENT ROUTINES” CAN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE 

A CHILD’S CHANCES OF EXPERIENCING SEPARATION ANXIETY!

FOR THIS REASON, ALL CHILDREN AGED 6 MONTHS AND OLDER

THAT ARE ABSENT AT DAYCARE FOR MORE THAN 

TWO CONSECUTIVE WEEKS (FOR ANY REASON), AND 

THEREFORE DEVELOP ANY SYMPTOMS OF SEPARATION ANXIETY, 

WILL BE REQUIRED TO PERMANENTLY WITHDRAWAL FROM

DAYCARE WITHOUT A TWO WEEK NOTICE. 

 *(Child’s needs will be considered out 

of the scope of the Daycare Program) 

📝 A Public Daycare Center with MORE THAN ONE 

Childcare Provider is the best option for children 

that are experiencing Separation Anxiety.  

A “TWO WEEK NOTICE” FOR WITHDRAWAL FROM DAYCARE 

MAY BE PROVIDED IF PLANNING A VACATION 

LONGER THAN TWO CONSECUTIVE WEEKS.

SYMPTOMS OF SEPARATION ANXIETY DISORDER

SOME OF THE MOST COMMON BEHAVIORS INCLUDE:

* CLINGING TO PARENTS

* EXTREME AND SEVERE CRYING 

* REFUSAL TO DO THINGS THAT REQUIRE SEPARATION 

* PHYSICAL ILLNESS, (SUCH AS HEADACHES, 

STOMACHACHES, NAUSEA, OR VOMITING)

*LOSS OF APPETITE

*SLEEP DEPRIVATION 

* VIOLENT, EMOTIONAL TANTRUMS 

* REFUSAL TO STAY AT DAYCARE (SCHOOL) 

* POOR SCHOOL PERFORMANCE  

(REFUSAL TO PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES) 

* FAILURE TO INTERACT IN A FRIENDLY MANNER 

WITH OTHER CHILDREN IN CARE 

* REFUSING TO SLEEP ALONE AT DAYCARE 

(IF YOUNGER THAN 2 YEARS OLD) 

* NIGHTMARES (AT HOME AND DAYCARE)

📝 Establishing Trust between Parents and Daycare Provider 

is very important and highly appreciated!

 However, when children experience Separation Anxiety, 

Trust between Parents and Daycare Provider is usually affected. 

Especially, when parents have never seen their child experience 

Separation Anxiety Symptoms before, while under their care. 

Therefore, proper diagnosis & treatment from your

Pediatrician is highly recommended.

🥣🧃Meal/Snack Times for children 

12 months and older (Inflexible):

MUST BE ABLE TO SELF FEED USING A SPOON 🥄 

IN ORDER TO GRADUATE FROM THE 

INFANTS’ FEEDING SCHEDULE 

8:00am Breakfast (3 items)

10:00am Snack (2 items)

12:15pm Lunch (5 items)

3:00pm Snack (2 items)

5:00pm Snack (2 items)

All Meals/Snacks are served with one cup of Water 

AND/OR (4oz) Whole Milk OR (4oz) 100% Fruit Juice

as part of the food items offered.

*(Fruit Juice is offered only to children that are drinking 

whole milk, and is served only once per day, 

either with their morning snack or evening snack) 

📝 NOTE: FRUIT JUICE IS NOT OFFERED IN A BABY BOTTLE,

ONLY A SIPPY CUP OR A STRAW CUP MUST BE USED

TO AVOID TOOTH DECAY. 

The items served are chosen from the Five Food Groups

Fruits 🍉 🍎 🍌, Vegetables 🌽 🍅, Grains, Protein Foods, and Dairy.

Everything your child eats and drinks matters. 

The right mix of food choices can help your 

child be healthy now and into the future! 

Is milk 🥛 really good for children? 

Due to its nutritional value and the role it plays in growth 

and development, milk is an important drink for children. 

Milk is part of the Dairy food group that provides children 

with an important source of calcium, 

which is essential for healthy bones and teeth. 

Is 100% Fruit Juice🧃good for children? 

Fruit juice can be a part of a healthy diet; however, it should 

not be a child’s main source of fruit during the day. 

Even though fruit juice has the same vitamins and 

minerals as whole fruits do, they have less fiber and 

more sugar and calories than whole fruits. 

Juice may also cause your child to prefer 

sweeter flavors instead of plain water. 

Drinking water is a great way to keep kids hydrated 

without giving them extra calories or sugar!

Flavor and food preferences are shaped early in life 

and the more sweet foods children consume, 

the more they prefer sweet foods. 

Therefore, it is important to establish in young children,

 12 months to 4 years old, the habit of drinking unflavored 

milk as they develop their taste preferences, 

and offer them (4oz) 100% fruit juice only once per day. 

🛑 📝 NOTE:

NEVER FORCE A CHILD TO EAT! 

IT IS NORMAL FOR CHILDREN TO EAT A LOT ONE DAY 

AND ALMOST NOTHING THE NEXT.

 I OFFER CHOICES FROM EACH OF THE FOOD GROUPS 

EVERY DAY, CHILDREN ADJUST AND EAT APPROPRIATE 

AMOUNTS OVER SEVERAL DAYS. 

DECIDING HOW MUCH TO EAT AT A GIVEN MEAL 

OR SNACK IS THE CHILD’S JOB.  

MY JOB IS TO SERVE A VARIETY OF NUTRITIOUS, TASTY FOODS. 

🍼Feeding Times for up to Three Infants (aged 2-11 months)

(Flexible):

8:15am,*9:00am, 9:35am -BREAKFAST

3:15pm & 5:15pm, *4:00pm, 4:35pm -SNACK

(*) Regular Schedule, when only one infant is enrolled.

(DAYCARE’S MAXIMUM CAPACITY IS THREE INFANTS)

📝 NOTE: The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive 

breast-feeding or formula-feeding for the first six months after birth.

But at 4 months to 6 months of age, most babies are ready to 

begin eating solid foods as a complement to breast-feeding 

or formula-feeding.  If your Pediatrician recommends it, 

you may begin offering solid foods at Home 

before your baby is 6 months old.

However, your child will not begin eating solid foods at Daycare 

until 6 months old. This will help us know what foods 

your baby likes and dislikes, or if there are any food allergies present 

“before” parents provide any baby food for Daycare at 6 months old.

📝*(At Daycare, babies that are 6 months and older 

are considered ready to begin solid foods when they 

can sit up on a high chair, open their mouth when

 spoon approaches, and draw in their lower lip 

as the spoon is removed from their mouth.) 

At 7 or 8 months old, your child can eat a variety of foods 

from different food groups. These foods include infant cereals, 

meat or other proteins, fruits, vegetables, 

grains, yogurts and cheeses, and more!

😴SCHEDULED REST & NAP TIMES:

FOR INFANTS 8 WEEKS TO 11 MONTHS (OPTIONAL)

(9:15am-10:15am and 1:15pm-3:15pm) 

*(10:00am-11:00am and 2:00pm-4:00pm)

(10:35am-11:35am and 2:35pm-4:35pm)

(*) Regular Schedule, when only one infant is enrolled.

📝 NOTE: Minimum Standards for all Child-Care Homes, 

from the Health and Human Services Commission:

a) You must place an infant who is not yet able to turn 

over without assistance in a face-up sleeping position,

 unless you have a signed statement from a health-care 

professional stating that it is medically necessary for 

the infant to sleep in a different sleeping position.

(b) You may not lay a swaddled infant down to sleep or 

rest on any surface at any time, unless you have a signed 

statement from a health-care professional stating it is 

medically necessary for the infant to be 

swaddled while the infant is sleeping.

(c) An infant’s head, face, or crib must not be covered by 

items such as blankets, linens, or clothing at any time. 

(d) An infant may not sleep in a restrictive device, 

unless you have a signed statement from a health-care 

professional stating that it is medically necessary for 

the infant to sleep in a restrictive device. If an infant 

falls asleep in a restrictive device, you must remove 

the infant from the device and place the 

infant in a crib as soon as possible.

📝 Restrictive device--Equipment that places the body 

of a child in a position that may restrict airflow or 

cause strangulation; usually, the child is placed in a 

semi-seated position. Examples of restrictive devices 

are car seats, swings, bouncy seats, and high chairs.

*(Car seats and bouncy seats are not allowed  🚫 

at Luisa’s Child Care, Home Daycare) 

*AN INFANT IS DEFINED BY THE HEALTH AND HUMAN 

SERVICES COMMISSION AS A NON-WALKING 

CHILD YOUNGER THAN 12 MONTHS OF AGE.

😴REST & NAP TIMES 

FOR TODDLERS 12 MONTHS TO 23 MONTHS (OPTIONAL)

(9:00am-10am and 1:00pm-3:00pm) 

😴REST AND NAP TIMES 

FOR PRESCHOOLERS 2 TO 4 YEARS OLD (OPTIONAL)

(12:45pm-2:45pm) 

📝 NOTE:  When things happen in the same order each day, 

infants and toddlers have a better understanding 

of their world and feel more secure.  A predictable schedule 

filled with consistent and responsive routines helps them 

to know what to expect and helps them feel more 

confident in themselves and the world around them.

Luisa’s Child Care Activity Schedule is flexible 

and may be adapted depending on the ages of the children 

that are enrolled. Therefore, all Preschool Activities 

and Outside Playtimes are cancelled when Daycare Program 

has reached its maximum capacity and is completely 

booked with three infants, aged 2 to 11 months.

However, Preschool  Activities and Activity Schedule 

will resume when at least one of the infants is a one year old, 

but will remain flexible and adaptable.
