When ever either of my kids are sick I always let the parents know right away, text or email in the middle of the night and/or phone call in the morning. I let them know what the symptoms are and leave the decision up to them of whether they want to send their kids here or not. If they decide to keep their kids home, they are not charged for the day. If they decide to send their kids, they risk having their kids pick up whatever illness my children have and know they will need to keep their kids home until they are better.
I do this too. I get my husband to stay home for fevers, vomiting, diarrhea, we hand the kids an iPad and they have to stay upstairs in their rooms during daycare hours. If hubby can't stay home, I let my daycare parents know my kids are sick and they can choose to bring their child or not and they don't pay if they decide to stay home.

We have been sooooo sick so far. We even had hand foot mouth go through earlier in fall. I really hope it doesn't continue to be this bad all through the winter! I do have 2 toddlers though at the moment and I find we are more sick when we have little ones...they are germ magnets/ germ spreaders!
