At Jasmine's Kingdom Daycare, the health and well-being of every child is extremely important. Our Illness Policy is designed to help reduce the spread of contagious illnesses while providing a safe and healthy environment for all children in our care.
We appreciate the cooperation of all families in helping us keep everyone healthy.
For the health of all children, please keep your child home if they are experiencing symptoms of a contagious illness or are not well enough to comfortably participate in normal daily activities.
Children should remain home if they have a fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher or if they appear ill, uncomfortable, or unable to participate in normal activities.
Children should generally be fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication before returning to daycare, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare provider.
Children who have vomited should remain home until vomiting has completely resolved and they are able to eat and drink normally without recurring symptoms.
Children experiencing frequent or unexplained diarrhea should remain home until symptoms have resolved and they can comfortably participate in normal daycare activities.
Children with suspected or diagnosed pink eye may be asked to remain home, particularly if accompanied by significant redness, drainage, swelling, discomfort, or other symptoms that may indicate a contagious condition.
Parents may be asked to follow the recommendations of their healthcare provider before the child returns.

Parents or guardians will be contacted as soon as reasonably possible if a child:
If a child becomes too ill to comfortably participate in daycare activities or requires individual care that cannot reasonably be provided while supervising other children, parents will be asked to arrange prompt pick-up.
Open communication between families and caregivers helps maintain a healthy environment for everyone. We appreciate parents informing us when their child has been diagnosed with a contagious illness so that appropriate cleaning procedures and notifications, when appropriate, can be made while respecting family privacy.
If you have questions regarding our Illness Policy, we encourage you to contact us. We are happy to discuss our procedures and answer any questions you may have.
