Illness and Exclusion Policy:
The health and well being of all the children in my care are of the utmost importance to me. It is for the protection of the children that I must insist on a strict adherence to my Health Policy. Please read it carefully and if you have any questions or concerns about this policy please discuss them with me now. Even with all our precautions, children do get sick.
I strive to provide a healthy environment for all children participating in my program. The Health Department regulations prohibit the admittance of any child into a family childcare home that exhibits any of the following symptoms:
· Fever (100°f or higher) – child needs to be fever free for 24 hours without the aid of medication
· Diarrhea – child must be symptom free for 24 hours without the aid of medication
· Vomiting – child must be symptom free for 24 hours without the aid of medication
· Runny nose with colored discharge –check with doctor
· Rash – check with doctor
· Discharge from eyes or ears
· Lice – child needs to be treated and nits removed before return
· Communicable diseases – chicken pox, measles, mumps, conjunctivitis (pink eye), influenza etc. The child may return when the incubation and contagious period is passed and the child is well enough to resume normal childcare activities.
· Child is too ill to participate in daily activities
I am responsible for the health and well being of many children so I will closely follow health department regulations when it comes to illness. I understand and respect your need to be at work, but your cooperation is extremely important on this.
