It finally happened. The stomach bug! Been open since June without having more than a mild cold hit all the kids and within hours yesterday two kids are down. One of the four dck being my own. I closed for today. First time I've had to close. Do you guys close when it sweeps through your daycare so quickly?

I hate to close but felt it was the right thing to do. The dcb I sent home Thursday spent the morning walking around crying before he threw up after I put him down for a nap. The other dck are 18m and 7m. Tough call but nobody wants to have vomiting kids to take care of. Oh well hopefully parents will understand why we have sick policies and not use the excuse of "they've already been exposed, can't I bring dcb/dcg anyway?"
I'll be deep cleaning and sanitizing all day. Blegh.

I've had it go through my daycare before, it was like every day a different kid would call in sick, then I'd hear that their whole family got it. Everyone was willing to follow the 24 hour symptom-free policy, so I didn't feel the need to close. Luckily I'm immune to pretty much everything at this point, and when my son got sick I was able to send him to his grandma's for the day. Otherwise I would have had to close for my own son being sick.
