Illness Policy

Illnesses can spread quickly and in order to protect your child and others, we ask that you not send your child if he/she shows any of the following symptoms:

  • Persistent sneezing, coloured nasal discharge or bad cough
  • Fever
  • Earache
  • Discharge from eyes and ears
  • Repeated diarrhea or vomiting
  • Unexplained rash
  • Swollen glands

They need to be fever free for 24 hours and vomiting and diarrhea free for 48 hours.

These guidelines have been composed to protect all children and staff attending our Centre.

In the event of a child contracting a communicable disease, the staff and Centre should be notified immediately.

The staff is authorized to refuse admittance to any child who, in their judgment, is too ill to attend or whose condition presents a hazard to the health of the other children.  After any illness children should be fever free for 24 hours and on medication for 24 hours before returning to the Centre. Parents/guardians are still required to pay for days missed due to illness.

Sick Days

THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR DAYS MISSED DUE TO CHILD’S ILLNESS OR INABILITY TO ATTEND THE PROGRAM.

In the case of a serious extended illness of two full (2) weeks or more parents may submit a letter to the Board of Directors for approval to waive the fees.
