It's not policy but I think it is courteous to do so in case it affects their staffing in any way for the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-daycare-when-your-lo-stays-home-sick#post-813142 Tue, 28 May 2013 12:31:20 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 813142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Calling in such a good idea especially if a no call/ no show prompts them to call 911 in case of an actual emergency. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-daycare-when-your-lo-stays-home-sick#post-813121 Tue, 28 May 2013 12:23:30 +0000 banana 813121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. It's not in their policy but I do it anyway just to help them plan their day. There are only 8 kids so one makes a big difference to them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-daycare-when-your-lo-stays-home-sick#post-813116 Tue, 28 May 2013 12:21:10 +0000 ladyfingers 813116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, just so they're aware. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-daycare-when-your-lo-stays-home-sick#post-813027 Tue, 28 May 2013 11:58:38 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 813027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I think it helps with their daily planning. I know they consolidate the two infant classes sometimes when many babies are out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-daycare-when-your-lo-stays-home-sick#post-812679 Tue, 28 May 2013 10:19:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 812679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I don't often. </p> <p>For one, sometimes she's just home with a little something or we let her sleep in with the hopes that she could go in around noon. If I call, then they give me grief when we try to take her in. And sometimes, she is just out with a fever or runny nose but we don't take her to the doctor. And again, they give us grief about not taking her in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-daycare-when-your-lo-stays-home-sick#post-812647 Tue, 28 May 2013 10:07:03 +0000 GrapeCrush 812647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS doesn't go to daycare, but when I was taking him to the gym childcare I called him in sick twice to there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-daycare-when-your-lo-stays-home-sick#post-812589 Tue, 28 May 2013 09:49:28 +0000 regberadaisy 812589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, it's kinda like calling in sick to work. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-call-daycare-when-your-lo-stays-home-sick#post-812584 Tue, 28 May 2013 09:47:42 +0000 pelikila 812584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I call or email.
