Personally, I don't charge for sick days if parents call ahead of time and keep their child/ren home sick. However, if the child is blatently ill, and contagious, and I have to call the parents to come pick their sick kid up, I'll charge for the full day. Even if their child/ren were only here for an hour or two. I do this because when they bring their infested child/ren, it subjects my family and I to their illness.

On the same note, if either of my own children or myself are under the weather, I call my parents give them as much notice as I can, and leave it up to them if they want to bring their kids in. If they opt not to bring their child, I do not charge them.

But I do have to tell you the clinic I go to, and the dentist too, do charge 100% if you make the appointment and then do not show up without giving 24 hour cancel notification.
