Guidelines for a Sick Child
Please do not bring your child if they show signs of the following:
▪ Fever of 100.5 or more (must be fever free without medication for 24 hours)
▪ Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (must be free of vomiting and/or diarrhea for 24hrs)
▪ Any symptoms of childhood diseases, such as measles, chickenpox, strep throat, flu, etc.
▪ Hand-foot-mouth– all sores must be completely scabbed over and dry underneath
▪ Heavy nasal discharge (green)
▪ Any unexplained rash
▪ Any skin infection (boils, ringworm, impetigo, thrush, hand-foot-mouth disease, fifth disease)
▪ Sore throat or constant cough
▪ Inflammation or discharge from eyes (all eye infections are contagious, must be on medication for 24 hours before returning)
▪ Head lice (must be free for at least 48 hours before returning)
When in doubt about any of these things, please apply the Golden Rule! NOTE: If your child is brought to school displaying any of these symptoms, you will be contacted immediately and asked to pick up your child. Should this happen repeatedly based on the Director's discretion, your child will be terminated from the program. We must remember that our first priority is the children's health and safety in our care.
*Tuition will not be pro-rated due to missed days from illness.
