HOW ARE ILLNESSES HANDLED?
An ongoing screening is conducted throughout the day in order to determine the health of each child. Children will be isolated and asked to be removed form the center if the following conditions exist: A fever of 101 or more (fever is a sign of infection not teething!!) A greenish or yellow discharge from the nose or ears, any discharge from the eyes, any child with strange bumps or a rash, a child who is vomiting or has diarrhea, any child with a continual cough and any child with any communicable disease that require they be out of a childcare center for an amount of time determined by the health department. (See our posted guidelines) If your child had a fever, they must be FEVER FREE FOR A 24-HOUR PERIOD before returning to childcare!! If they have symptoms that persist, they may return after being on antibiotics for 24 hours and remaining fever free. Occasionally a note from a doctor may be requested in order for your child to return to school.
