Preschool Health Policies
We ask that you show teachers and other parents the same concern and Christian courtesy that you want shown to you by not bringing a child who is ill into a preschool room. The recommendations below are form the American Academy of Pediatrics.
A child should not be taken from the home when any of the following exist:
- Fever (should be fever-free for at least 24 hours)
- Vomitting and/or diarrhea
- Any symptom of usual childhood diseases -- scarlet fever, measles, mumps, chicken pox, whooping cough
- Common cold -- from onset through one week
- Sore throat
- Croup
- Any unexplained rash
- Any skin infection -- boils, ringworm, impetigo
- Pink eye or other eye infections
In addition:
We will not administer any medications. Food activities are regular events in preschool classrooms. Therefore, information regarding your child's allergies is very important.
