Some kids are sicker than others. Lack of proper sleep, exercise and/or diet is usually the culprit. Fortunately most kids develop a fairly strong immune system by the time they enter school.

However, like CH said the whole situation seems like a mess and one I probably wouldn't want to take on either. Part time is hard when it comes to illness etc. I moved to full time only a while back and it's worked well in regards to eliminate so many illnesses cycling all the time.

My policy for HFM requires exclusion until all sores/blisters are dried up and gone. I know the biggest contagious period is prior to visible symptoms but exclusion until blisters are gone reduces the continual cycling of it returning.
