Hair Accessories Policy?
Do any of you have a rule about hair accessories? I have a few parents that put barrettes or ponytails in their toddler’s hair and they’re constantly pulling them out and they get left on the floor and becomes a choking hazard for the younger ones. I’m fine with her accessories as long as the child wearing it isn’t one that takes them out.

I banned hair accessories and provide small plastic bands. I show the x-ray to the parents to explain why.

In my parent handbook, I ask parents not to use hair accessories because they present a choking hazard to the younger kids in care. The parents tend to forget and I get tired of constantly having to remind them about the policy.
Now I just remove any "hair toys" that look like they could be a problem as soon as the kids walk in. I hand them back to the parent at the end of the day. |
My only rule for hair accessories is that they keep them in their hair. If they pull them out they go into their mailboxes to go home. I don’t mind putting a barrette or a clip back in but I don’t have the time to rebraid hair.

BC seriously. Was just thinking about making it a policy that hair needs to be clean and out of faces. we were doing a messy project and I went to pull dcg's hair back and it was CRUSTY. *gag*
I have the same policy- it stays in or I take it out. |
Hair accessories are a pain! I think a policy for this is a fantastic idea!!! My parents put the tiny clear rubber bands in and then my littles take them out during nap which freaks me out.

Tell parent they need to wash her hair or not have care. That's lazy and neglect
