Question 4

Required Paperwork

Accepted Answer

According to the NYC Department of Health, all participants must have a completed medical form (must be one year from the date of issue) prior to the start of the program. It’s also a good idea to keep extra copies of the medical form for your records. If your child does not have a complete medical form along with the health care practitioner's stamp or signature, they may not attend.

During the registration process, it is extremely important that families notify the program if the child has any medical conditions such as, but not limited to, allergies, asthma, diabetes or other conditions.

Additionally, you must submit all necessary consent forms, including but not limited to:
Consent for Emergency Medical Treatment 
Consent to Participate
Authorized Pick Up 
Authorized Emergency Contact 
Consent for Photography/Videotaping and Use of Original Work
Consent  to Make Referrals and Share Information
