I have been lucky here, nothing that bad all mashed together. There has been at least 1 child here with each of those illness but over 10 yrs! There was daycare provider in my area a few years ago, she just closed the daycare for almost a week because this same situation kept happening. The parents weren't letting their kids get better before sending them back and she was getting sick too. Now, I don't know if that worked, the only reason I heard about it was through the local grapevine... parents were pissed. And I'm here thinking, why do you WANT to send your sick child to daycare???

As for dosing and dropping, it might be the conspiracy theorist in me but I am sure it is easier for parents to justify to the boss having to leave because daycare called, rather than not going in at all. Am I wrong?
