    I don't send children home due to a virus (clear running noses and eyes) and it sounds like that's what has hold of this poor little guy. But I check for temperatures after a couple of hours in the morning and if the parents dosed a fever it will be coming back by then. If they have green mucous then it's probably bacterial and a fever will accompany that infection so that's a giveaway. But with a virus the temperature is usually a few degrees lower than normal.

    In my opinion it's the fever that scares me and that's when children have to go home.

    I had one dosed and dropped today today Fever came up after nap...Dad had said there was no fever in the morning....mom said she had given him Tylenol (after I called in the afternoon). I am so unimpressed with being decieved...and I told them that straight up. It is clearly in my policies that they should not dose and drop. It is dangerous and disrespectful.

    My philosophy is if a child can't participate in our daily activities, then they go home. If a child is that sick that they're crying and crying, then the parents or emergency contacts need to come get the child. They obviously need to go lie down in the comfort of their own home. Also, you want to avoid them passing the illness on to everyone else in the daycare, including yourself!
