 Topic: Daycare / Sickness
Posted: 26 July 2010 at 8:07pm |

Just wondering if you child is sick how sick are they before keeping them home?
Daycare has just put a notice out of what they expect, as there has been children being dropped off pretty sick and giving it all to the others DS included. But in the notice it says if Pamol is needed for any reason, you child is not well enough to be at daycare... Sometimes DS will have some Pamol on hand for teething etc, now i feel i shouldnt take him when teething... surely im reading in to it to much??

I used to work in a daycare and the rules back then was a cold - runny nose is fine but fever is not.

IMO teething is very different to actually being sick.

You can take him if he's teething, unless its giving him a fever. I figure if teething is being so bad I need to give her pamol then home with me is the right place for her anyway, cos she's going to be sad.

I run a childcare centre (well did until i started my mat leave!!) Teething is completely different, so they shouldn't be meaning that.. i would check with the person who runs the centre and ask to see their policy on it. as that should have clear guidelines

Teething should be fine, although if they're really unsettled and miserable with it, then it's probably fairer to the child to be at home (and to the carer if they are needing to give ++ attention)
We're in home based care. Generally if it's a clear runny nose, it's fine. Green is not so good. If it's a cough at the tailend of the cold (like now), then it's OK but if it's a yucky cold coming on, he stays home.
We've found a HUGE difference this year - Dan's first "sick day" was on Monday. They had 2 kids whose mum kept sending them when they weren't well and last year we had to have so much time off. This year, Dan's been the healthiest of all of us!
