Health Policies

Children will invariably encounter colds and illnesses over the course of their young years. In many cases, the child has already been exposed to a virus or cold prior to symptoms being noticed (as in chicken pox). Children who are able to participate fully in our day's program (including outside play) are welcome to attend still, as long as they are NOT experiencing:

• vomitting
• high fever
• diarrhea
• doctor reccomended not to attend
• lice
• unusual behaviour (irritable, fussiness, listless)

If a child becomes ill during the day, parents will be contacted for immediate pick up.

Both prescription and non-prescription drugs (including tylenol, cough medicine, etc) must have medical consent form filled out before I can administer it. Prescription drugs must be in original containers and labelled with child's name.

Also, I have experience dealing with children who have asthma (using inhalers) and also doing blood glucose monitering for children with diabetes.
