MEDICAL CARE / ILLNESSES
Children on the premises complaining of illness, or found to be ill, will be allowed to rest in a room separate from other children. Parents will be notified immediately.
Depending on the severity of the illness, parents may be requested to pick up their child as soon as possible.
Any child determined to be carrying a communicable infection (Measles, Chicken Pox, Head Lice, etc.) shall be isolated from others until such time that parents are able to pick their child up. Parents will be requested to pick up immediately in these situations.
We ask that parents not bring any child to the day care facility if they have been previously running a temperature of 100 degrees or higher.
