This policy is consistent with Titles VI and VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act; Sections 503 and 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973; the Age Discrimination Act of 1975 and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; the 1974 Vietnam Era Veteran Readjustment Assistance Act; the Governor’s Executive Order 85-09; and the Washington State Laws Against Discrimination, RCW 49.60.
Tiny Tots is committed to providing a supportive and inclusive environment for all children, and we do not discriminate against any child based on their toilet training status. All families will be admitted so long as there is space available.
This policy applies to every aspect of the agency’s programs, practices, policies, and activities, including client services and employment practices. All employees are oriented to this policy at the time of hire and during our annual review of policies and procedures. Staff are trained in the nondiscrimination policy upon hire and annually.
