Ya - under my communicable disease policy ... I would not allow the child back into care without either 'treatment' for pink eye being undergone for 24 hours and a prescription for 'drops' upon return as proof they were seen by a Dr and treated OR if it is not something that needs 'treatment' and they are safe to return they could return with a 'Dr note' and I provide the reentry form where it clearly indicates what the child's symptoms were of XYZ and my 'concern' that it could be XXXXX and a communicable disease requiring treatment or exclusion as per the public health policies' and the Dr note has to clearly indicate that the child may return to care as they do not pose a threat to any other child under the Public Health Guidelines or it was not what I expected but rather XXXX and the child can return to childcare after X hours on the treatment provided'.

That way I KNOW I have done my due dilegence to protect the child , the children in my care and myself ... the child was seen by a medical professional and treated and if the DR signs off that they are not a 'communicable threat' and other children come down with the same symptoms I covered my ass with documentation the child was only allowed back into care after being seen by a DR who is the expert not me
