Illness

 In compliance with Department of Human Services and to help protect your child, children with these symptoms can not be brought to the center:

• Temperatures over 100 degrees
• Diarrhea or vomiting in the last 24 hours
• Any undiagnosed rash
• Sore or discharging eyes, ears, and nose

 If your child becomes sick at the center, the staff will make every effort to contact you. If we can not contact you we will then call the contact you have on your emergency contact list. Sick children must be picked within the hour of the sick call. This is because any contagious children must be isolated from all other children. Children must be free from symptoms for 24 hours before returning to center. Some contagious illnesses (such as pink eye, ring worm, strep throat etc…) may require proof of treatment to return to center. If your child needs to be given medicine while at school, our staff can administer medication if a Medicine form is filled out on each medication, and medicine and form must be turned in to the center office each morning. No medicine should be left in child’s bag.
