Sick Child Policy

We reserve the right to deny members entry with children who are ill. A sick child is defined as a child who is contagious or infectious and poses a health risk to others. A child who is not able to participate in activities in reasonable comfort cannot be left in the care of the playroom.  

Children should not be brought to the Playroom If: 

• Child has symptoms of possible communicable disease (usually sniffles, red eyes, sore throat, headache, abdominal pain, fever, and/or skin spots, bumps or patches).   
• Child requires more care than our staff can provide without compromising the health and safety of other children

The following are sick child symptoms. We cannot accept children in with these symptoms: 

1. Has a fever of 99 degrees or higher
2. Has vomited within the past 24 hours
3. Has had a watery stool in the past 24 hours
4. New onset of any kind of rash within the first 3-4 days of its occurrence. Child has a rash not associated with diapers
5. Has a sore throat and/or swollen glands causing difficulty in swallowing. Strep throat is contagious if left untreated. A child may attend the Playroom 24 hours after the first dose of antibiotics for this or other bacterial infections  
6. If a child has Chicken Pox, they must be completely clear of pox before attending
7. If a child has any green or yellow mucous coming from the nose regardless of the use of antibiotics
8. Has significant respiratory distress (a constant cough)
9. Has unexplained lethargy
10. Child with untreated and/or contagious lice, ringworm, or scabies

If a child comes in with any of these symptoms, we will ask you to wait to use Playroom services until after the symptoms have been resolved. If staff observes any of these symptoms during the child’s visit, the parent will be asked to remove the child. If the child is without any of these symptoms but still seems ill, the parent will be asked to remove the child.
