They don't even feed the child after sometime to see if the child vomits a second time and when the child gets home started screaming for food and eats with out any issues. I am 100% agreeing if the child is sick send home and stay away for 24 to 48 hrs or as long as gets a clearance from the pediatrician. but children will throw up once in a while because of food or over feeding etc. make good judgments. Parents are paying you a lot of money not to sit at home. they need to work to pay the day care.
When I send a child home because of vomiting its NOT because they are/arent sick.
Its because they vomited and now I have to sanitize the area completely WHILE still caring for the other kids that havent vomited.
Also it might feel like you pay me a lot but from my perspective its not much all that much.
