'Tis the Season- A note for keeping your little one Healthy!

As I'm sure you've noticed... 'tis the season for runny noses and coughs.  Keeping your child as healthy as possible is the goal on every one's mind but as we all know, is sometimes just impossible.  If your little one comes down with a green, icky nose or a cough... we ask that you PLEASE keep them home.  Germs spread fast in schools and daycare centers and even though we pride ourselves on being over-the-top clean... kids spread germs quickly.   In order to keep all of our friends and teachers healthy we ask that you take the time to get well before bringing your child in with a cold. 

Our centers policy is that when a child is sent home with a fever, a cough or for not feeling well you will be asked to provide a doctors note before their return and/or a copy of a prescription.  It is a PA State requirement that all children who are sick are to be sent home in order to prevent illnesses from spreading and running rampant through school settings.  In addition, once your child is seen by a doctor.. please allow 24 hours for antibiotics to kick in to ensure that all viruses and bacteria are under control.   

Thank you so much for your cooperation in keeping your child and our center GERM FREE! :)
