Wellness Protocols

 Our illness policy is in place for the safety of all of our friends and staff. We reserve the right to deny attendance of a child who looks generally ill, regardless of fever. 

Please review the below and let us know if you have any questions!

- If a child looks overall ill- including any but not limited to: runny nose, tired looking, pale, cough, audible congestion, audible wheezing etc., your child may not be admitted to daycare that day. 

- If a child has TWO of Diarrhea, TWO episodes of vomiting or ONE of each kind of episode:

o You have to be out for 24 hours following the last episode

o If your child is experiencing either ailment at home, please count the 24 hours from there, not from pick up time.

 

- If a child is registering a temperature of 100.4 or higher, this is considered a fever and we will ask you to come pick up your child:

o Your child must stay out for 24 hours following when the fever breaks without medication. 

o In the event that you pick up your child and discover there is no fever at home, please let us know. You will still have to stay out for 24 hours from when we saw it here at the daycare. 

- If a child is registering a temperature of 104 or higher, and a parent cannot be reached immediately, an ambulance will be called and the child will be transported to the nearest emergency room accompanied by a staff member. 

WHEN A DOCTOR’S NOTE IS REQUIRED: 

- If a child has been out for any 3 days or more (including weekends) due to illness, we will need a doctor’s clearance note for your child to be readmitted into daycare. This includes situations where a child was picked up on a Thursday and was out Friday and over the weekend. 

- If a child is out sick, then comes back and is sick again within 7 days, a note is required!

- If a child develops a condition that looks or is suspected to be contagious while in daycare (examples would be pink eye, hand foot mouth disease, etc.)- we will ask you to pick up your child as soon as possible. You MUST have a clearance letter from a doctor in order to come back to daycare. 

If a student has two or more vomiting or diarrhea episodes while in daycare, parent or guardian will be asked to come pick up the student immediately. 

The student may return to daycare upon the following:

- no less than 24 hours from the last vomiting or diarrhea episode, even if that episode occurred at home

If a student is found to have a suspicion of contagious disease, such as but not limited to Pink Eye, Ringworm, Chicken Pox, Lice, or Hand Foot and Mouth Disease- the student must be immediately picked up by a parent or guardian. 

The student may NOT return to daycare without a doctors note that clearly states the DATE upon which the student may return to daycare.
