Sick Children

When a child becomes ill at the Centre, every effort will be made to keep them comfortable, and parents/guardians will be notified. It is your responsibility to have the child picked up as soon as possible. When the parents/guardians cannot be contacted, the alternate/emergency contacts you provided upon registration will be  contacted.

 

A child is considered too ill to remain at the Centre when they are unable to cope and to participate in the full day program schedule. A child’s ability to cope will be determined by the supervising staff in collaboration with the Director.

 

A child should not be brought to the Centre, if one or more of the following conditions exist:

 

• The illness prevents the child from participating in the program activities and/or school.

• The illness results in greater needs for care than the staff can provide without compromising the care of the

            other children.

• The illness is a communicable disease.

 

If your school-aged child is too sick to remain at school, please ensure they are picked up at school.
