Does your contract say what temperature is too high for daycare? Most people say a temp of 100 or 101 and they get automatically sent home for 24 hours. I think I am going to put 99.9. Why would they want their kid to be in daycare with a fever? Fevers are NO joking matter when it comes to little ones! I had a middle school teacher that said she is completely deaf in one ear because when she was a kid she had a fever of 103. My mom once took me to the ER when I was a toddler because I had a high fever and I had a sezure in the waiting room. I think either that is a fake doctor's note or that doctor is a quack.

I would also add to your contract that families that are caught (or even supsected in some cases) dope and droping to lower a fever or to hide symptoms of illness to pass off as healthy for daycare may be put on probation or be terminated.
