I think any provider (especially one with their own kids) is a little crazy to take the chance of infecting more children with a virus of that nature. My contract states, if anyone in the home contracts a virus such as the flu or any other contagious illness, ALL children are to refrain from attending my daycare until 48 hours after the sick are well. I am a big time advocate for keeping illness from spreading, the best way to do that is to keep ALL members of the household away from contact with others until the virus has passed. Drives me nuts to here a parent is home with the flu and the child has been dropped off to me. It can take up to 72 hours for the virus to show signs/symptoms in a person giving them 3 whole days to infect ALL they come in contact with including the rest of the day care kids and you and your family. I don't mess with illness and all my families know that. Better safe than sorry, I always say!!!
