SICK POLICY
If your child wakes up with a yucky cough, or super snotty nose then they are to be seen by a doctor before coming to daycare. A DOCTOR NOTE IS REQUIRED! ( I still get to decide whether they come or not depending on symptoms and what the doctor does say.)
( I understand small coughs and sniffles happen but I’d like to my best to filter out as much as we can, together.
All children are to be fever free for 24 hours before returning to daycare. WITHOUT FEVER REDUCING MEDICATION! Anything above 99.6 will not be accepted. If your
Any child who has been vomiting shall not return for 24 hours from their LAST throw up. NO EXCEPTIONS!
If your child has diarrhea, they are to stay home until symptoms improve. If it is coming out of their diaper they will be sent home.
If you child has tested positive or anyone in your household has tested positive for covid, strep, rsv, or the flu, they are to be fever free before return
(strep - fever free and on antibiotics 24 hours before return)
(covid- 5 days from test date and fever free)
(flu - 5 days from when they tested and fever free UNLESS they are on TAMIFLU and then they can return after 48 hours.
(rsv- fever free and gone for 5 days at least)
(covid- fever free and 5 days since test)
If your child has any type of sores on their mouth, hands, or feet, they are not to come to daycare until sores are closed up. HFM spreads like wildfire and its miserable for the kids.
If your child has an injury that will keep them from functioning, they are to stay home until they can function per usual.
If your child has lice, they are to stay home until all bugs and eggs are gone.
If your child has discharge coming from their eye or pink eyes they are to see a doctor and medicated 24 hours prior to returning to daycare.
***over all if you know your child doesn’t feel well, and might be coming down with something, please keep them home. We all want to be our healthiest selves. Not all things can be prevented, but we cant filter them together!
***If your child gets sick while in my care, you are to pick them up ASAP and within the hour.
***Please be mindful of the other parents and their children. Also, if I get sick I have to close and it affects all the famlies. So trying to stop it before it spreads is our goal! <3
