Fever Policy

Your child is required to remain home.

We can discuss your child's return to daycare once all the following criteria has been met:

•  48 hours fever free
  
• 48 hours free of any fever reducing medication or any other medication that can mask symptoms of illness
  

If your child gets a fever while at daycare, you will be contacted to pick your child up.

If I find out that you have given your child medication to cover up a fever before sending your child to daycare, I hold the right to terminate care immediately.

• 48 hour period is between 12:00 am and 11:59 pm
  

Example: if a fever starts Monday morning and breaks Monday night, the 48 hour period starts as of 12:00 am Tuesday morning.  If your child isn’t given any medication and the fever doesn’t return between 12:00 am Tuesday to 12:00 am Thursday, your child can return to daycare Thursday. 

Your child is required to remain home for at least forty-eight (48) hours, if not longer.
