In the Event of Illness
Staff is trained to recognize general health problems in children. Should a child become ill at Day Care/ASAP a staff member will assess the situation and perhaps take the child’s temperature. Staff will not make a medical diagnosis, but will notify the parents/guardians of the child’s condition.
When a child becomes ill at Day Care/ASAP:
- The staff will notify the parents/guardians.
- If the child vomits or is running a fever, the parents/guardians or designee agree to pick-up the child immediately upon the staff’s request.
- Failure to pick-up the child promptly upon request could result in suspension or termination of the child’s enrollment in the program.
A child cannot attend Day Care or ASAP on days they do not attend school or leave early due to an illness.
Also, parents are required to notify their child’s child care program within 24 hours of discovering the child, or anyone in their household, has developed a communicable disease.
