I am so sick of sickness running through my daycare I could scream and I have no idea what to do or how to stop it!! So I just reopened my home daycare in Jan of this year because I had a baby. Well since I would say the end of March every week one of my 3 youngest are sick. I completely take every toy and every shelf out of my daycare room every weekend clean with hot soap and water and sterilize everything only to hav e a sick kid show up the following week. I have battled. The flu, strep twice, lots of colds, a stomach virus, pink eye and now to top it off a mom brought her kid with croup!!
I need any ideas on what to do to stop all the sickness. I can honestly say only one kid had pink eye and I sent her home, one one child had the flu and I sent him home and two different children had strep but one was in March and the other was last week. So I feel like I am stopping it from spreading but I feel like all I do 24/7 is sanitize and clean! Only for some new contagious illness to come in. The parents seem like they are starting to get frustrated with me and I don’t know what else I can do! I have a very specific sick policy and I follow it but I feel like this sickness is constant and always something different.
When I had my home daycare before I had my daughter, I never sent anyone home or had any sickness go through my daycare! I am just frustrated, lost and fed up with all the sickness!!
I would love any and all advice because at this point I am lost!
