None of what you're describing would exclude them from my home. If I excluded kids for runny noses or slight coughs I'd have no kids...like ever!! A lot of it can be allergies or if it's cold where you are it could be dry air from the furnace etc.

I only exclude for contagious diseases, fevers, green snotty nose, more than slight cough, unexplained rash, unable to partcipate in program and when first beginning antibiotics. All of these need a DR's note before returning to care. I've only had to exclude one child once this year.
