Strep Throat    Can return to school 48 hours after starting treatment.

If the child has been sent home from school due to an illness or covid quarantine protocols, please contact the site manager. The school staff will not notify our program and we will have our own set of protocols to follow in our program.

If a child appears to be ill in our program, the staff will call you directly. If it is deemed the child needs to be removed from the program, the child will not be allowed to return into the program for 24 hours or until symptom free without the use of medicationsThe teachers will give attention to your child’s medical needs according to health guidelines, and keep them comfortable until parent/guardian arrival, but the child may need to see the doctor.

Your child may be sent home from the program with any of the following symptoms:

  • A temperature of 100 or above
  • Loss of taste or smell
  • Abdominal pain
  • Sore throat for 2 or more days.  If sore throat persists, a culture should be taken by your physician and a note sent with your child to the program stating a return date and signed by the physician.
  • Diarrhea 2 or more times within an hour
  •  Nausea, or Vomiting
  • Congestion or Cold with thick, yellow pus-like mucus coming from the nose
  • Difficulty breathing
  • A rash
  • Uncontrolled cough
  • Headache

Contagious Diseases:

If your child has a communicable condition, please call your Program Manager so that proper precautions can be taken for other children in the program. If your child is found to have a communicable disease such as Covid-19, chicken pox, mumps, measles, pink eye, etc., you will be contacted and asked to take your child home.  If head lice are discovered, all children’s heads are checked and families are notified.  (Head lice are easily spread and are not an indication of poor hygiene.  Head lice are easily treated and are not a cause for panic.)

If a child exhibits signs and/or expresses that he/she does not feel well, child’s temperature will be taken and the parent will be notified.  In some cases when an illness may not be recognizable, you will be required to pick up your child at the teachers/administrator’s discretion. Children WILL NOT be allowed to return for 24 hours if they are sent home. We ask that you provide us with any changes in phone numbers of your home or emergency contacts.  THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.  We need to be able to reach you in case of an emergency.

If you think your child may be ill, please do not send him/her to school.  This is very uncomfortable for the child and exposes other children to illness.  Also, if your child is out of school due to covid or covid protocols please inform us as soon as possible.
