Do You Tell Your Daycare Parents When YOUR Child Is Sick?

[Dsquared]

Me too. I called in sick for the 1st time in 8 years. My son and I were both puking. Not fun. I emailed everyone late in the afternoon and told them that we had both stopped vomitting around 9am but were just having the residual tiredness, achiness that comes with a stomach bug. I gave everyone an option...come to daycare the next morning and risk it OR stay home and I wouldn't charge...guess what

EVERYONE came...

Yep, we have done that 2 times and everyone came both times the kids were sick.

My kids are 3 and 6. My son son (who is 3) rarely gets sick, but my dd seems to be sick quite a bit. I only tell dcp if my dd has vomitting/diarhea and needs me at her side. If she has a fever, minor cold and misses school, I don't tell. The dcp see her on the sofa in the nap room. The dck stay in the playroom or do activities in the kitchen. Parents will bring their kids anyway. They probably would too if my kids were puking etc. but I ususally close when that happens because it's too much to keep an eye on my sick child and dck who are almost 4, 3, and almost 2.
