Sick Child
Mary had a little lamb, she also had the flu.
And when she
left her Day Care, the others had it too.
So anytime your child is sick, please keep her home with you.
Then all
of the children in our Day Care will be happier and healthier too!

We will soon be getting into the Cold
& Flu season (unfortunately). I want to take this time to remind parents about our Sickness
Policy.
Please keep sick & contagious
children home! The Health Department regulations state that children will
not be allowed to attend daycare if they exhibit any or a combination
of the following symptoms:
Fever over 100
degrees, Rash, Excessive Cold/Cough, Vomiting, Diarrhea, Lice or Nits,
Discharge from Eyes or Ears, Unusual
Drowsiness, Persistent or Excessive Crying,
Communicable Disease (Pink Eye, Flu, etc). Children who display any
of these symptoms while
in care must be picked up upon notification within 30 minutes.
Please do not
give your child Motrin/Tylenol in the morning to mask fever/sickness in order
to bring them to daycare! Fever Reducing medicine does not keep them from spreading
germs to the
other children
and childcare providers. Illness is inevitable, but must be contained as much
as possible. Help us to keep all of our kids (and teachers!!) germ free, and
as happy and healthy as
possible by keeping
your children home when they are sick.
**Children
must be symptom, fever, & contagious free for a full 24 hours before returning to daycare.**
Young children are especially vulnerable to catching germs from others due to the
fact
they put most everything in their mouths, they lack sufficient and/or consistent hygiene skills,
and
they are in close proximty to other children daily.
