I have never closed when my kids are sick and only once did I have to warn parents that one of my kids was vomiting but I didnt close and only one chose not to come cause in reality by the time a kid has started vomiting they have already shared it with everybody. I would never close for an ear infection and I accept kids into care with ear infections cause they aren't usually contagious.... As long as they can participate in the program and they don't have a fever over 101 they are welcome.
I would not stand for someone lecturing me in my home..... I had one family tell me they wanted me to change my illness policy to reflect their beliefs .... They are no longer part of my daycare. I would hand them a termination letter starting that due to a general air of disrespect towards my myself and my business I will no longer be providing care to xxxxx effective xxxxxx (whatever your notice is in your contract) .... Next !!!
