Your child may not return to A Child’s World unless they have been symptom free for 24 hours and no less as this is guidelines set by the state. If your child has been sent home from daycare with any of the symptoms listed above then they will be required to return with a Doctors note and will not be admitted into a child’s world until a Doctors note has been supplied to the attending provider. It is also your responsibility to have a back up daycare in the event that your child becomes sick. ACW will not admit your child into care if they become sick because you have to go to work.
