Well Child Policy
Parents: It’s our desire to see that the only thing children “catch” here is the joy of Christ! Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with EUM’s policy on wellness.
To ensure the health of children and staff, we ask that ill children not attend Forever Friends programs or nurseries.
Upon the recommendation of the Committee on Control of Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics, a child should not be taken from home when any of the following exist:
-
Fever 100 or above within previous 24 hours
-
Cold or flu symptoms including: runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing
-
Vomiting
-
Diarrhea
-
Sore throat or cough
-
Any unexplained rash
-
Any skin infections such as boils, ringworm, impetigo, pink eye or other eye infection
-
Any symptoms of disease such as scarlet fever, German measles, mumps, chicken pox or whooping cough
If your child is on antibiotics, he/she should be on the medicine for at least 24 hours before coming to Forever Friends programs or nurseries.
Medication must be administered by parents only.
Thank you for your consideration of all families and children attending EUM.
