• RASH: a physician should check any rash illnesses. Any red, fine or blotchy rash on face trunk, arms or legs is reason to send a child home. Needs a doctor's note to return to daycare.

• CRYING AND COMPLAINING FOR A LONG TIME: anytime a child is not "herself" or "himself" and is complaining about discomfort or just cranky and crying more than usual for that child then they need to be sent home or kept home.

Children with the following diseases should remain home until successfully treated:

• Impetigo

• Lice or Scabies

​

In general, if your child is too sick to go outside and play, then your child is too sick to attend daycare.

​

If your child becomes ill during daycare, you will called or texted and asked to pick up your child immediately.

​

Any child requiring prescription medication for something contagious will need to be kept home for a period of at least 24 hours after the start of antibiotics and must have a signed doctor's note to return to daycare. Please dispense all medications at home whenever possible.  For times when is is not possible, a Short Term Medical Consent Form must be filled out for me to dispense medication. All prescriptions and over the counter medications must be in their original containers and prescriptions must display the pharmacist's label with doctor's name on it. 

​

Failure to comply with these rules will result in termination of spot in daycare.
