I searched and didn't find much on this, but I have never had an illness policy and wanted to know what you all have in yours or recommend as important. I have been flexible because I know how hard it is as a parent to have to take lots of days off in a row and I believe putting a strict policy in place is going to push parents to medicate and drop off anyway. But, we have had stuff that just keeps going around and around! I have a child that now has RSV for the 2nd time in 3 months. Where do you draw the line with runny noses, coughs? What about temperatures? My state has recommended exclusions for illness but nothing clear cut. For instance they say that with RSV a child should be excluded from daycare until they are fever free without medication, but what is considered a fever? 99 or 100, or 101? I just feel like I am going to be calling parents to come get kids all the time but I am sick of all the illness, and hovering over the ones who are sick to take away the toys that are put into mouths....
Somebody help me out here! Thanks!
