In order to protect our children from contracting
illnesses or diseases, we have set up some guidelines regarding the subject.
If, at any time the Center feels that a child is too sick (or contagious),
he/she should be kept out of school. Please make arrangements for someone
to take care of the child, in the event that you may not be able
to.
If a child has a slight fever (under 101),
a cold, an allergic rash, diaper rash, prickly heat, diarrhea as a result
of a certain food or medication, he/she can be brought to the
Center.
By helping us observe good health standards,
you will be protecting your child and others at the Center. Thank you for
your cooperation.
KEEP THE CHILDREN HOME IF THEY HAVE:
-
Rectal temperature of 101 or
more.
-
Conjunctivitis or pink eye (the eye will
be red with yellow drainage, usually in the
morning).
-
Bronchitis.
-
Rashes that cannot be identified or that
have not been diagnosed by a physician.
-
Impetigo of the skin. This shows up as
red pimples, which eventually become small blisters. When the blisters break,
the skin will be raw and weeping. (Impetigo most commonly
occurs in moist areas of the body, such as creases
of the neck, groin and underarms, face, hands or edge of
diaper).
-
Frequent
diarrhea stools.
-
Vomiting
(more that the usual spitting up).
-
Severe cold with fever, sneezing and
nose drainage.
-
Contagious diseases (MEASLES, red or
German. CHICKEN POX, MUMPS, ROSEOLA).
P.S.: With any physician diagnosed illnesses or
diseases, (ear infection, throat infection, etc.) a child will be able to attend the
Center only with a note from the
physician, and after being on
prescription medication for at least 24 hours.
