    Here you go - please note that your Region or Province might have slightly different guidelines and rules depending on the anal factor of those running your Health Unit - this is for London Ontario's Public Health Unit.

    What I mean by anal is that some Health Units say you can attend childcare with Chicken Pox and others still require exclusion based on poor experience with children who did attend getting 'severely ill' as the rounds of pox progressed and muted when they DID allow it so they reverted to the initial 'exclusion' practice of until the scabs are 'dried over'.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
