One of my friends recently switched her child from a family daycare to a group center. They have been at the center for 4 months and the child has been constantly sick with all sorts of illnesses. I ended up finding out that my friend was giving her child advil to get rid of the fever so the child could still attend daycare and Mom didn't have to take time off work. This might be a stretch but maybe some of the parents are doing this.

My policy is pretty detailed. For the parents it might seem like alot of information all at once but when it comes to a child's health it just makes it easier in the long run. I also make the parent keep their child at home if they are unable to participate in regular routine. After hearing my friends story I have added that to my policy as well. Medicating to mask illness would result in immediate termination of care.
