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.
