Question 8

What is the policy regarding sick children?

Accepted Answer

We cannot care for children who are not able to participate comfortably in the center’s normal activities or have an illness that requires more care than staff can provide without compromising the health, safety and supervision of the other children.  Children must be excluded from the program if one or more of the following exists:

• The child has one of the following, unless medical evaluation by a health-care professional indicates that you can include the child in the child-care center’s activities: 
 • Armpit temperature of above 100 degrees and accompanied by behavior changes or other signs or symptoms of illness; or 
 • Symptoms and signs of possible severe illness such as lethargy, abnormal breathing, uncontrolled diarrhea, two or more vomiting episodes in 24 hours, rash with fever, mouth sores with drooling, behavior changes, or other signs that the child may be severely ill; or  
 • A health-care professional has diagnosed the child with a communicable disease, and the child does not have medical documentation to indicate that the child is no longer contagious.

If a child becomes ill while at the center, the child will be allowed to rest on a cot or bed away from the other children.  Parents will be called to pick up the child and should arrive within one hour of the call.  The center reserves the right to require a physician’s statement prior to re-admittance following an illness.
