What are exclusion policies?

Exclusion Policies in childcare are a set of guidelines within each program that give us as parents and guardians an idea when it's OK to send our child there.

  • Whenever children are together it's fun and playful, but also a feeding ground for germs and illnesses.

  • Germs and illnesses spread like wildfire, especially with our little ones.

  • It's our goal as parents and guardians to ensure the health and safety of our children, so to know when our kids are OK to go to childcare is huge!

Exclusion Policies look like:

  • A set of guidelines, which each program will have, that describes different illnesses that are able to come into the facility or not.

  • These policies will look very similar to any sort of paperwork that you must fill out to sign your child up.

When will your child be sent home?

Why would my child be sent home?

If your child has...

  • been vomiting for 2 or more hours
  • head lice and hasn't been treated
  • a stomach ache for longer than 2 hours
  • active Tuberculosis
  • chickenpox
  • diarrhea
  • a fever and other symptoms
  • a rash and other symptoms
  • strep throat
  • pink eye

Why will my child be sent home for any of these?

For the most part, any of the illnesses listed, can either be transferred to another child, or even to the staff on board. Most places have a certain hour or day period of when your child can come back (if treated)

  • If any of that were to happen, it could then easily be transmitted to the whole child care facility and would be staff out of work, and children wouldn't have a safe place to go

When will your child be able to attend child care?

If your child has...

  • vomited once
  • a fever but no other symptoms
  • a rash with no other symptoms
  • a runny nose, or common cold
  • a cough

Why are these OK?

For a majority of it, these are simple symptoms to an illness, and won't conflict with other children's day to day life. But if any of them were to become more serious, then the program would have to take a look back at their list of illnesses that aren't accepted.
