What If my child gets sick?
We understand that a child's health is of paramount importance, and we take all necessary precautions to prevent the spread of illnesses within our center. Rest assured that your child's well-being is our top priority, and we maintain a transparent and systematic approach to managing illness. Here's what you can expect...
Report of Child Illness:
* When a child becomes unwell, our staff will complete a Report of Child Illness form.
* This form will detail the reason for your child's illness and the care they received while at the center.
* It will also include the time we notified you, the parent/guardian, of the illness.
* To ensure the health and safety of all children and staff, a child may not return to the center until they are symptom-free and fever-free for 24 hours or have a doctor's note confirming they are not contagious and can return.
Parent/Guardian Acknowledgment:
* The Report of Child Illness must be signed by you, the parent/guardian, at the time of pickup.
* A copy of this report will be provided to you for your records.
* The original report will be securely stored in your child's file, beneath the Enrollment Agreement.
Illness Log:
* We maintain an Illness Log in our infirmary, which is updated whenever a child is sent home due to illness.
* This log tracks the reasons for sending children or staff members home due to illness.
* It helps us identify any common trends or patterns in illnesses among our center's occupants.
