You don't HAVE to, unless it's an emergency med and necessary for saving life and limb. However, there are many kids that need regular medications that are NOT sick per say. So I'd encourage you to think it through. I have a little guy with epilepsy that needs medication every 6 hours around the clock to keep seizures to a minimum. He's not sick, he's disabled. His parents schedule them so that daycare only needs to give one dose, but it is definitely needed.


Things I'd consider when making the decision. How long is he going to need the meds? Will you lose good clients over this? Could this qualify as an ADA violation? I think that the last question depends on what the meds are for.
