One family, 3rd time coming with pink eye.

[BlueRose]

1) have child picked up asap (payment is still due for the day)
2) while waiting for child to be picked up put the child in a play pen with a few washable toys
3) inform all other clients, so they can keep an eye out for it.
4) if your kids get keep them separated from the daycare if possible. If not possible close for the day.
5) wash all toys that you know the child has touched or might have touched
6) wash everyone's hands and faces
7) tell pink eye family that they need to check their child's eyes before coming from now on. If they send their child with pink eye again (signs showing before arrival) they will be terminated. If signs show up after drop off they will not be terminated.
If they are unsure if its pink eye they MUST inform you at the door and you will make the call whether or not the child has to stay home.

This is my policy:
Pink Eye and Conjunctivitis
Children are not allowed to attend daycare with eyes that are red and/or eyes that are weeping with clear/yellow or cloudy drainage.

Your child can return to daycare, once all the following criteria has been meet:

- Eyes must be completely free of drainage both running and dried drainage around their eyes before they can return to daycare.
- I do not accept Dr.'s notes allowing children to return to daycare after treating conjunctivitis if the redness and drainage are still present.
