About Us - Health

Health/Illness

We are always concerned about the health and happiness of our children. In order to protect all children at Zadie’s Nurturing Den, we reserve the right to determine when a child is too ill to receive our care. If you feel that your child is not well, we would appreciate you keeping him/her home, especially if he/she has an illness that may be contagious. If your child becomes ill while under our care and we determine that he/she should not remain at Zadie’s, you will be notified immediately.

If your child has any of the following symptoms, we suggest at home care for at least 24 hours:

  Fever – higher than 101 degrees
  Combination of diarrhea and vomiting
  Unidentifiable Rash – please provide a doctor’s note upon return to Zadie’s
  Conjunctivitis – redness or discharge from one or both eyes. Administer medication for at least 24 hours before returning to Zadie’s.
  Sinus Infection – yellow/green discharge from the nose is a sign of infection
  Head Lice – all nits must be removed before returning to Zadie’s
  Sore Throat
