Help Me with my NEW Sick Policy

[Judy Trickett]

The key to not having sick children in care is NOT to charge dcparents for YOUR sick time but to enforce your sick policies to the degree that they are afraid NOT to follow them.

For example, my illness policy says that after diarrhea or vomiting a child is excluded from care for 24 hours. It's in the contract and the parents SIGNED that contract. So, if I saw what you saw on FB then I would have terminated that family. AND, next week, when all the other dcfamilies asked why little Tommy is no longer attending I would tell them that Tommy got terminated for not following the illness policy.

Oh, YES....I WOULD and HAVE done that. And when OTHER parents realize you WILL terminate someone who does not follow the contract (especially the illness policy) they do NOT violate the policies.
