Illness Policy and Closings Information
ILLNESS POLICY
Due to the close contact that children naturally have with one another, a sick child can easily
infect others. To keep the children as healthy as possible, WFC follows state of Connecticut health
guidelines. Please refer to these guidelines when your child becomes ill.
- FEVER: a child may return to the program when his or her temperature has been normal for 24 hours without medication. A fever is a temperature of 100.5 taken from any site on the body.
- VOMITING: child may return to the program 24 hours after the last episode without medication
- DIARRHEA: the child may return to the program 24 hours after the last episode without medication
- SCABIES: the child may return with written permission from the doctor
- HEAD LICE: the child may return after treatment and no visible signs of nits are present
- IMPETIGO, COLDSORES, RASHES, RING WORM, ETC: the child may return with written permission from the doctor.
- CHICKEN POX: the child may return to the program 7-14 days after their initial outbreak, all pox must be dried.
In the event that your child becomes ill at the program, parents/guardians will be contacted and must make arrangements to have that child picked up within 1 hour from the time of contact.
If your child is too sick to participate in the program, please do not send them. We are unable to
provide the extra staffing to accommodate such requests. Please remember that your child MUST be 24 hours free of illness before he/she will be permitted back to the program. WFC reserves the right to deny care to visibly ill children or children that have not been out for the required amount of time.
