APPLICABLE TO: NEW CO-OPERS ONLY
Each new co-oper must schedule a *medical physical and have an authorized medical provider complete the Medical Evaluation for Child Care Form to confirm they are physically capable to work with young children.
In addition, CPNS follows state and CDC health and safety guidelines and encourages all co-opers to stay updated with recommended vaccinations, including the COVID-19 vaccine. Co-opers can opt to upload a copy of their COVID-19 vaccination record/card for CPNS records.
*Note: If you’ve had an annual physical within the last 6 months, the state allows your physician to complete the form without a new physical, although a TB test may still be required.
Before submitting the “Medical Evaluation for Child Care” form, please double check for these common errors:
Write College Park Nursery School under “Name of Child Care Provider/Program”
Sign (your signature) and date the box: “Authorization for Release of Medical Information”
Ensure “Risks and Symptoms screening competed (required)” is checked “yes”
Ensure the box “2-6 years of age” is checked under question #5
The medical provider must sign, date and include their full name and credentials
-
There are several options. You could:
1. Make an appointment for a medical physical with your own primary care physician (PCP).
2. If you’ve had your annual physical completed within the last 6 months, ask if your PCP will complete the form without an appointment.
3. Get an “employment physical” or “child care physical” at a pharmacy clinic (e.g., CVS, Walgreens) or an urgent care (e.g., MedStar, Patient First). Always call ahead to ensure availability.
