Here is a short list of common illnesses and our policy concerning the duration for keeping your child at home after showing signs:

 

Fever:  Please stay home for at least 24 hours after the fever is gone (without the use of fever-reducing medicines)

​

Vomiting:  Please stay home for at least 24 hours after vomiting stops.

RSV:  Please stay home until you have been cleared by your doctor and have an accompanying doctors note when you return.

 

Cough and Cold Symptoms: If your child has a persistent cough, runny nose, or other cold symptoms, it's advisable to keep them at home until their symptoms have significantly improved.

 

Flu-like Symptoms: In the case of flu-like symptoms, we recommend keeping your child at home until they have fully recovered.

Chicken Pox:  Please stay home for at least one week, or until the rash is gone and all blisters have dried.

​

Lice:  Please stay home until there are not any live, crawling lice seen on the scalp.  Please continue to check the scalp 7-10 days after the first treatment.

​

Hand Foot and Mouth:  Please stay home for one week, or until the fever has been gone for at least 24 hour, and the sores and open blisters have healed.

Covid-19:  Please stay home for 5 days then wear a mask for days 6-10 if you choose to return.

 

We understand the challenges this may pose, and we appreciate your cooperation in prioritizing the well-being of our Little Tiger community. If your child is experiencing any of these symptoms, please keep them at home and notify our staff.
