Sick Kid

[Unregistered]

It depends

If I have a sick kid and the sibling is healthy (for the moment), then I won't object to the kid coming as long as the parents understand that I will be monitoring the healthy kid's temp. and I'll be looking out for ANY signs of illness and if I see anything out of the ordinary, then I will send the kid home.

I understand that parents don't want to have to pay for childcare for their kids when they are sick, but if they agreed to it initially and signed the contract, then that's their problem.

funny so many are quick to judge or share what THEY would do and harp on someone elses desicion they made differently.....this place never seems to amaze me

I must have missed something, as I thought the point of posting a new the thread on a forum was to elicit responses from other members of the forum. Am I mistaken?

These are my feelings as well. My policy says that depending on the illness, the sibling of a sick child may also be required to stay home. That way, I can use my discretion on a case by case basis.

I think that since that is Bentley's policy, she did the right thing by sticking to it.

I sent a dcb home yesterday with 101.5 fever and vomiting. His dad called me this am and stated that the temp was down and vomiting stopped but he was going to keep the boy home....like he had a choice.:: In my policy and procedures I state what most of you have, that they can't return after 24 hours symptom free. I'm glad they didn't show up at my door because I would have had to turn them away and I really like this family but man some either don't read the contracts or forget.
