In a perfect world we could trust parents 100% but since that is really not the reality, I can only control what I can control. However I did make mention of the following things in my newsletter for the upcoming holidays.
- I am requiring ALL kids to have their flu vaccines
- I am excluding for EVERY symptom on my illness policy list regardless of the parent guesses as to what their kid has.
- Exclusion is now anywhere from 72 hours to 10 days instead of the normal 24-48 hours.
- I expect open/honest communication in regards to a family's holiday plans as far as large gatherings and/or travel plans and if I suspect or learn a family lied I will terminate care as my family's health and well being (and other DC families) depends on their honesty.
BC Can you send me your letter? I want to create one too and was hoping for ideas
