Sick Policy:
For everyone's well- being, it is important that contagious children remain at home to prevent sharing their medical condition with me or with the other children, and to assure that they get the TLC they deserve when they don't feel well. If your child has any medication they need to take while in my care please sign the permission to administer form.
If a child becomes ill during daycare, I will call you. I expect you to pick up your child when called if they are vomiting, having unexplained diarrhea or an unexplained rash, or have a temperature over 101.0 degrees F.
No child may be bought to daycare if they have shown any of these symptoms within the previous 24 hours:
1. underarm temp of 100 F, or oral temp of 101 F or over. WITHOUT Medication. Do not bring a child who has had a fever and been given medication for fever.
2. vomiting
3. diarrhea
4. rash, other than mild diaper rash or heat- related rash
5. head lice
6. pink eye, ringworm, or other contagious diseases or conditions
If you are not sure about bringing your child, call me first. Please let me know if your child has been exposed to contagious diseases or diagnosed with any serious illness or medical condition so I can alert other parents. You MUST have a plan for alternate care in the event that you or I need to take a day off for such illness.
