We are still only in daycare, but would never be going if I kept DS home for colds. Fevers, vomiting or diarrhea they don't take them and I think the same would go for pre school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-skip-preschool#post-1880846 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 21:49:04 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1880846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'd send her. they don't care about runny noses or coughs... only fevers for the most part! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-skip-preschool#post-1880780 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 20:28:50 +0000 mrs scrapbook 1880780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every school I've been in (with students ranging in age from babies in day care-seniors in high school) had the same policy for teachers, that you had to stay home if you had a fever, vomiting or diarreah or anything really bad/contagious like strep or pink eye. But for colds/coughs everyone usually goes to school. I would assume the kids could follow the same guidelines!</p> <p>I hope your LO feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-skip-preschool#post-1880770 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 20:22:32 +0000 Silva 1880770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd send her. I don't count 99 as a fever. If she is acting very upset or very tired I'd keep her home, but otherwise those symptoms would be enough. hope you both feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-skip-preschool#post-1880764 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 20:10:51 +0000 heffalump 1880764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Going through this too, but no fever. I know exactly where she got her cold, from a kid in her class. So I don't mind sending her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-skip-preschool#post-1880757 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 19:56:48 +0000 pinkcupcake 1880757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BrandNewMom: @Dandelion: @sslm: thank you! She hasn't been in daycare so I'm new to this... I'm expecting a lot of sickness this fall as she builds up her immune system. Just wasn't sure what would be considered too serious to send to school. I feel like she's gonna be sick constantly :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-skip-preschool#post-1880753 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 19:51:16 +0000 BrandNewMom 1880753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fever (101.5 or higher), vomiting, diarrhea (more than twice in an hour or 3 times in 2 hours), severe emotional distress with sickness, extreme exhaustion with sickness are the ones I used to call home about when I was a preschool teacher! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-skip-preschool#post-1880692 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:53:15 +0000 sslm 1880692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our daycare sends kids home when they have a fever so I keep her home if she has one. I don't keep her home for colds! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-skip-preschool#post-1880674 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:27:58 +0000 Dandelion 1880674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>send her. They've all already gotten the cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-skip-preschool#post-1880665 Sun, 28 Sep 2014 18:12:50 +0000 pinkcupcake 1880665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One week into preschool, LO has come down with a cold- sniffles, running nose, slight fever (99). She's otherwise playing/acting normal. I think she gave it to me, too, bc now I feel all congested and crappy too :(</p> <p>At what point do I keep her from preschool? I'm thinking that if I kept her out for each cold/runny nose, she would never get to go :T I don't want to be that inconsiderate mom that sends her sick kid off to infect everyone, though. </p>
