I use an ear thermometer. Thought of getting the temple one but wasn't sure if they were much better.
And I always take the childs temp in presence of the parent when they pick the child up. It avoids the "it wasn't high when we got home" responses.

I use the short stubby safety 1st and ARC rectal thermometers and clean thoroughly with alcohol wipes and bleach spray. (with the 2 and under) I use the ear thermometer for the older kids, it's usually a degree off so if it says 99.6 then I know it's over a 100. I don't know of it being against licensing here but I will double check now.
