    green mucos does not mean a infection. I just went to the Dr and had green stuff coming from my lungs. the dr said it was not contagious and i was fine. your provience should have a sick child policy and you should follow it. in Alberta our policy is :Potential health risk
    8(1) Subject to subsection (3), where the licence holder or other
    care provider knows or has reason to believe that a child is
    exhibiting signs or symptoms of illness as set out in subsection (2),
    the licence holder must ensure
    (a) that the child’s parent arranges for the immediate removal
    of the child from the program premises, and
    (b) that the child does not return to the program premises
    until the licence holder is satisfied that the child no longer
    poses a health risk to persons on the program premises.
    (2) Signs or symptoms of illness exhibited by a child include the
    child
    (a) vomiting, having a fever, diarrhea or a new or
    unexplained rash or cough,
    (b) requiring greater care and attention than can be provided
    without compromising the care of the other children in the
    program, or
    (c) having or displaying any other illness or symptom the
    licence holder or other care provider knows or believes
    may indicate that the child poses a health risk to persons
    on the program premises.
    (3) Subsection (1) does not apply if the child’s parent provides
    written notice from a physician indicating the child does not pose a
    health risk to persons on the program premises.

    Carla he did have a new cough as well as nasal discharge. The cough had just started that morning. Honestly, if it were any other kid I probably wouldn't have cared but because this lady had already lied about other illnesses I was "throwing the book" at her in hopes that she would leave care. I emailed her my updated policies effective immediately and told her I would waive the 2 weeks notice for cancellation if she "chose" to find alternate care. She decided she wanted to find alternate care after all WOOOHHOOOOO!

    When she came to the door she told me she was upset because she lost a 10K account because she couldn't deliver an ad campaign she had been working on on time. Pffffffft. YOUR kid is sick.... just because you have to PAY for a sick day does not mean they get to COME SICK. I politely told her I understood her frustration at having to lose income when your kids are sick. There are at least 10 other daycares in our town; PICK ONE! (I didn't say that last part! I was just THINKING that LOL)
