What is your illness policy?
The Health Department regulations prohibit the admittance of any child into a family childcare
home that exhibits any of the following symptoms:
• Fever (100°f or higher) – child needs to be fever free for 24 hours without the aid of medication
• Diarrhea – child must be symptom free for 24 hours without the aid of medication
• Vomiting – child must be symptom free for 24 hours without the aid of medication
• Runny nose with colored discharge –check with doctor
• Rash – check with doctor
• Discharge from eyes or ears
• Lice – child needs to be treated and nits removed before return
• Communicable diseases – chicken pox, measles, mumps, conjunctivitis (pink eye), influenza etc.

The child may return when the incubation and contagious period is passed and the child is well enough to resume normal childcare activities. I have the right to refuse to care for a sick child. If your child develops any of the above symptoms while in my care, you or your alternate will be required to pick up your child immediately. If I have to call a parent to pick up a child that has been dropped off for care too ill to participate in the day the child will also be required to stay at home the following day. Your child may return to care 24 hours AFTER symptoms of illness end. Which means if your child is sent home with a fever, diarrhea, or vomiting they cannot return until they have been symptom free for 24 hours without the aid of medications. I am responsible for the health and well being of many children so I will closely follow health department regulations when it comes to illness. I understand and respect your need to be at work, but your cooperation is extremely important on this.

Do you have any pets?
Yes, we have one dog and two cats. The pets will greet you at the door then you wont even know they are here.
