At our center we send them home if they have a fever no matter the temp and they HAVE TO BE FEVER FREE FOR 24 HOURS without the use of meds. If we give a child meds at our daycare, we have to have a medical form signed and dated with the name of the medication, amount to be given, and the time that it was administersted at home plus what time it needs it be given at the daycare (usually between 11:00-11:30) and it cannot say "as needed" because they consider that a blanket form which in their eyes in illegal.
