I will still prvide care through colds and illness not easily transferable but strep throat is seriously contagious and dangerous to tots and babies. I might have gone the doctor and gotten a diagnosis. if it is strep i would close until 24hours after medicine is started (our usually rule for the children)

however, what you did is exactly what i do if anyone in my houe is sick. I let the parents know.

you did the right thing but be careful around contagious diseases. work through bronchitis bad illnesses like that if you wish. I tell the parents that im open but program is cancelled and im a couch mom for the day. most are pretty pleased with this and tell me not to get up off that couch unless someone is dying.
