I just read the article on sick kids and agree with it on the most part, except for a few points. If a child vomits, there is something wrong and they need their parents. End of story. Also, the reason daycares ask that the child be well for 24hrs prior to coming to care is because the don't want every other kid getting sick. When it's your own kid being kept healthy, you'll appreciate the rule. And lastly, you are a PARENT. That child is your primary concern, not an inconvinience.
