Illness

Sickness occurs whenever a group of children assemble. Teachers disinfect and sanitize toys and surface areas regularly. However, we need your help too!
1. Watch your child in the morning for any unusual signs of poor health.
2.

Have alternate arrangements for care arranged in case of illness.
3.

Make arrangements for emergency pick-up in the event your child becomes ill during the day.
4. Have a Tylenol release signed by you and in your child’s file so it can be given in an emergency situation, until you arrive, or in other cases as necessary. We will always call you before administering Tylenol.
If your child exhibits any of the following symptoms they may be isolated and sent home:
1. Fever of 101 degrees or higher
2. Vomiting
3. Diarrhea
4. Draining rash
5. Eye discharge or “pink eye”
6. Lice or nits
7. Lethargic – unable to function in class
8.

Symptoms of possible communicable disease are present. Please call the center if your child does have a communicable disease and we will return the courtesy.
9.

Fever of 100 degrees in conjunction with any of the above symptoms.
Children may return to school if:
1. The fever has been gone for 24 hours
2. On antibiotic for 24 hours
3. With Physician’s written permission
