    Hmmmm....
    This is why I was reluctant to post a question about vaccinations--it is too controversial and people tend to respond vehemently based on which route they have chosen to go with---with their OWN children. YES, Judy I can tell you are passionate about the subject. And on that note I would like to clarify a few things. I did not disclose who the unvaxed child was. The mother of the unvaxed child asked me if the other parents were comfortable with this, I did not simply go and disclose this information to them.
    Personally, I think that parents have to do whatever they feel is best for their children. However, I do feel that in running a business I need to set policies that I am comfortable with and that is what I am struggling to do. That said, I am reluctant to continue asking advice because the sensitivity of the issue, where instead of feeling advised I feel attacked.
    Playfelt, thanks for the info. My only concern with waiting is that I don't want to change policies once she is settled because then she may feel that she enrolled under false info.

    I don't feel I attacked you however I apologize if you feel that way.

    I see vaccination just like any other medical thing. We simply can not ask, tell, or seek opinions of other parents in care about this. It's personal. It's no different than if a kid had any other condition under medical care etc.

    Playing the devil's advocate here but we would ever go to an UNvaxed family and ask them if it's okay to accept a vaxed child?
