Illness Policy

We realize that as working parents, you cannot take the day off every time your child has a runny nose.  However, please try and be considerate of the other children and the staff at the center.  We will do everything in our power by keeping the center clean to avoid a lot of the germs floating around.  If your child is contagious, has a fever, or does not feel well enough to partake in the daily activities, keep them home.  Should your child become ill during the day, you will be expected to pick them up within 45 minutes, once called by Hugs Child Development Center.  We follow the guidelines provided by Central District Health Department regarding illnesses.  It is our policy that children remain out of the center when ill.  The following are the guidelines we use when determining whether or not to contact you to pick up your child:

·         Temperature over 101 degrees. (axillary)

·         Two or more intestinal disturbances (vomiting or diarrhea)

·         Any undiagnosed rash

·         Constant cough

·         Discharge from eyes or ears

·         Unexplained lethargy

·         Significant respiratory distress

·         Unable to participate in normal classroom activities.

·         Children need fresh air.  If your child is too ill to play outside with the other children, then they are too ill to be in attendance.

·         If your child is sent home with any of the above listed, they may not return to the center until symptom free for 24 hours. 

·         Please notify the Director if your child has been exposed to or diagnosed with an infectious disease.  You will be informed if anyone in the center has been diagnosed with any such disease.

Immunization Policy

Idaho code 39-1118 requires that we have on file an updated copy of immunizations for each child.  It is our policy that we do not accept children who are not immunized.  We must have this by the first day of attendance.  As you get additional immunizations, our files need to be updated.

Medication Policy

No medication will be given at this center without properly filled out medication sheet.  Child’s name, name of medication, amount of dosage, time to be given and parent signature must be filled out. 

All prescription medication given must be in the original bottle/container.  All over the counter medication must be in the original bottle/container and labeled clearly with the child’s name.
