INFORMATION FORM
This is a general information form so that we at Heart for Children Early Learning Centre can get to know you and your child or children. Please fill out all sections so that we have a complete history for each child.
OUR POLICIES
By choosing YES or AGREE to any of the policies below, the parent/guardian acknowledges their acceptance and understanding of each of these policies, which are described in detail in the Parent Handbook.
Permission To Screen
"I give my permission for my child to be screened by the early intervention team." A Heart for Children Early Learning Centre provides early intervention screening to identify developmental areas in which your child may require additional support such as speech and language, fine or gross motor and/or regulation. The screening determines if early intervention services may be recommended for your child.
"If need is determined, I give my permission for my child to be assessed by the early intervention team."
Qualification for Alberta Education early intervention funding is based on assessment results. Do you give permission for AHFC to apply for early intervention funding if your child qualifies for support?
"I give permission for information, strategies and IPP documents to be shared with my child's partnering daycare, if applicable."
