Yes, I notify ALL parents if anyone is ill with a spreadable illness, I let them choose..if..i decide to stay open. I will close if anyone in our house has "highly contagious" illness such as the flu. and also ask IF any of the daycare families have ANYTHING contagious, they stay out of care. until the sick are well. 24-48 hrs after feeling better if its the flu, I dont mess with illness, out of respect of all my families. Hate spreading anything if it can be avoided! Always upfront and honest! honesty is the best policy.
