However, if it were something that is highly contagious then I would ask for the sibling to stay home, because it's only going to be hours before they get it too. Something like HFM.
I feel the same way. I dont mind unless its something very contagious/threatening to others in care, especially when I have young babies or kids with compromised immune systems
