Agreed- At least in MN if it is on the state exclusion guideline (which scabies is) you need to notify parents of possible exposure. Rules for centers or in other states may be different.... No home daycare would want scabies running around and getting brought back in the daycare- just like head lice everyone needs notified and checked, then checked again, and all areas, bedding etc need cleaned both at home and in the center.
