The flu isn't just a cold or something "common".....it REALLY is a big deal so I would think the DCM (or ANY parent) would understand your need to be cautious, not only because you provide child care but because you have an infant.
I take the flu VERY seriously. I exclude every member of the family if someone in the family has a confirmed case of the flu. Otherwise, my exclusionary policies simply apply to the one that is actually ill.
This helps a ton. I taught kindergarten for 10 years, and I still encountered the true flu so rarely. I think I was taking it far too lightly in this situation.
Thank you all again! I would have been a mess if they had contact and my little guy (or anyone) caught it!
"due to the administering of Tamiflu by your DR, special consideration will need to be implemented for the safety of the other kids in care. As per my pediatricians recommendation child will need to be quarantined for 4 days after Tamiflu is given. Therefor X will need to remain at home until next Monday. I apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding in this matter.
See you next week and I hope X feels better!"
To me the administering of Tamiflu is a much more serious thing than regular old flu.
I would do a thorough check Monday at drop off, too.

Flu = Fever
Cold = No Fever
That is it in a nutshell! Flu can be serious or or not but the presence of a fever means flu vs cold. I have had knock down drag out colds that were not flus and I have had flus that were nothing!
