Ours includes fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and rashes only. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycares-sick-policy-mention-the-color-of-mucus#post-2641219 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 10:11:10 +0000 sorrycharlie 2641219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, ours says fever, consistent wet cough, green mucous and the obvious throwing up/diarrhea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycares-sick-policy-mention-the-color-of-mucus#post-2641212 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 10:07:15 +0000 babypugs 2641212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not in the policy. Like others have mentioned, if this was a rule, we'd all be paying to keep them home half the year. It's nasty, but it is what it is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycares-sick-policy-mention-the-color-of-mucus#post-2641200 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 09:54:07 +0000 Mama Bird 2641200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ew. Lol. No.</p> <p>I've heard the color doesn't mean much in any case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycares-sick-policy-mention-the-color-of-mucus#post-2641197 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 09:48:12 +0000 ustechie 2641197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <br /><p><i>This comment has been deleted by the original poster.</i></p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycares-sick-policy-mention-the-color-of-mucus#post-2641174 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 09:30:06 +0000 Alivoo01 2641174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just the usual vomit/diarrhea/fever to have kids stay home. Kids seem to have a lingering cough or runny nose from fall till spring. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycares-sick-policy-mention-the-color-of-mucus#post-2641084 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 08:05:51 +0000 peachykeen 2641084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is the same as @erinbaderin: and I agree - the kids in DD's class seem to always have gross runny noses. I hate it but I also can't keep DD home for a week when she's the one with the gross nose... Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycares-sick-policy-mention-the-color-of-mucus#post-2641077 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 07:55:14 +0000 erinbaderin 2641077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. B would miss basically half the year if they cared. Only fever/vomiting/diarrhea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycares-sick-policy-mention-the-color-of-mucus#post-2641069 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 07:42:15 +0000 Silva 2641069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure color doesn't actually mean anything. If it's a standard runny nose I send her, if she seems actually uncomfortable and sick I try to keep her home. Other than that we just go by fever, vomiting, etc</p> <p>ETA: kids have colds basically all the time October through April around here, it seems </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycares-sick-policy-mention-the-color-of-mucus#post-2641064 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 07:35:02 +0000 littleblessings 2641064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DDs preschool says if it's green/yellow to keep them home. Along with the typical diarrhea, vomiting and fever. They must be 100% symptom free for 24 hours before going back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-your-daycares-sick-policy-mention-the-color-of-mucus#post-2641062 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 07:26:58 +0000 BSB 2641062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare just mentions fever as a rule to not bring them in.</p> <p>Both don't have fevers, both were clear runny noses yesterday, but DD has yellow mucus today.</p> <p>I called the daycare to check and they said they recommend that we take them to see the dr but there is no policy that says they should stay home. </p> <p>Does your daycare's sick policy mention anything other than fever? </p>
