Confidentiality

 Our policy

​

Confidentiality applies to disclosure of any verbal and/or written information about potential enrollees and previously enrolled children and their families.  All staff will be briefed on the need for confidentiality and will be expected to fulfill their obligation to respect the protection of privacy.  Written records will be stored in a secure location with access limited to the director and the child's teacher.  No information will be released about the child and the parent during enrollment or transition to another receiving program or school without written permission of the parent.  This excludes the responsibility held by early childhood educators as mandated reporters of suspected child abuse and neglect as outlined in Maryland law and when information is subpoenaed by court.  It also excludes any information requested as a result of potential funding possibilities (i.e., food programs, grants, etc.)
