Hello,
It's winter time and we all know, illnesses go around. At what point do you tell your (client) parents that their child should stay at home? I have an after-school child in my daycare and this is the second time in 40 days she has made everyone (including my kids and me) sick in the facility. My whole family was fighting a what seemed-to-be a very long cold at Christmas-time. Now the child has a bad cough again, and is not in a happy mood, otherwise no other symptoms. And my child started coughing today. My policy states that a child can't attend when contagious (a runny nose is generally ok- this child doesn't have a runny nose), but really, how is someone to predict that? Or do you tell the parents the child cannot attend pretty much every month for about a week in winter? Because they pretty much get a cold at school every month.
I am in BC if that makes a difference.

Help please.
Thank you so much
