Our policy here at the daycare is that a child be fever free, diarrhea free, and/or vomit free for a full day, and without the use of fever reducing medications, prior to returning to the daycare following an illness. If your child is sent home sick with any of these ailments, he/she cannot attend the day care until he/she remains symptom free for at least a full day after being sent home. If your child has an unusual rash (not diaper rash), or an illness not explained above, we ask that you obtain a doctor’s note specifying that your child is not contagious and is able to return to the day care. If you suspect your child may be coming down with something, we ask that you use your best judgment when deciding if your child is well enough to attend school.
