v     ILLNESS

Heavenly Angels Child Care provides well child care, sick children will not be accommodated. Examples of conditions that would preclude a child from attending include, and are not limited to the following:

• Fever of 100 or higher, Rashes, Excessive Cold and/or Cough
• Vomiting, Diarrhea, Lice or Nits
• Discharge from Eyes or Ears
• Unusual Drowsiness
• Persistent or Excessive Crying
• Communicable Diseases: Chicken Pox, Roseola, Conjunctivitis, Mumps, Measles, Influenza, Etc. 

Children must be free of symptoms for a minimum of 24 hours before returning.  Certain contagious diseases will require a doctor's note before the child may return.

Heavenly Angels Child Care will admit children with mild cold symptoms providing no over-the-counter fever medicines (such as Tylenol or Motrin) have been given.  These medications can mask fever or other complications that would require exclusion from childcare.

If a parent is home with an ill child it is expected that the enrolled sibling also be kept at home.  Please keep the germs at your house!  Young children touch and mouth everything, germs can easily pass from their homes to their playmates at childcare.  We have unfortunately, had many incidents of illnesses being passed to the other children via their "healthy" siblings.

In the event your child becomes ill while at Heavenly Angels Child Care, you will be notified and will be expected to pick up your child within one hour.  In the meantime, your child will be kept comfortable in a room away from the other children.

Please call as soon as possible if your child will not be in attendance due to illness.
