Showers' Daycare will NOT care for a child who has a fever above 100 degrees or above, is vomitting, has diarrhea, a rash, sores in the mouth or shows signs of a contagious disease. Please keep your child home if he/she is ill in any of these forms.

 

Should any child bcome ill during the course of the day especially with diarrhea, vomitting, fever or "flu-like" symptoms, the PARENTS will be asked to remove their child from Showers' Daycare and to do so PROMPTLY.

Your child may not return until they are symptom/fever free (without medication) and eating normally for 36 hours.

 

Please notify Showers' Daycare if your child has been exposed to a contagious disease. This protects your child, and the other children in care. If your child is exposed to any communicable disease Showers' Daycare will notify you as soon as we are notified.
