    IMO a fever is a sign of infection so if the child is in good spirits, eating/drinking/participating as normal I let them stay because really if they have a fever and are possibly coming down with something at this point they have already infected the daycare,

    Normally I call home at 38 celcius...but if I know something is going around I will send them home for even 37.6. Fever is a sign of something going on and by the time we know what that "something" is, it's too late. I realize they are usually contagious before the fever starts, but at least we can minimize the exposure.

A few tips...

Always ensure that your child receives quality care by taking the time to investigate the provider and by asking for references! We simply cannot verify the claims of every daycare provider.
