For the protection of all children and workers, please DO NOT bring your child if he/ she is ill. The following criteria, suggested by the Health Department, will be used to determine when staff or children do not need to be at Drop-In.

ANY of these symptoms in the past 24 hours:

• Fever of 100F
• Diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting
• Undiagnosed rashes or boils
• Ongoing cough
• Signs of common childhood illness (i.e. German measles, Chicken Pox, Mumps, etc)
• Runny eyes

Thank you for keeping Drop-In safe and healthy for everyone. If your child becomes ill or unhappy, the staff will notify parents via text message. A child who has had vomiting, diarrhea, or fever in the past 24 hours should be kept home. Also, please note that Drop In staff is not permitted to administer medication.

• Please bring an extra set of clothing for each child. If your child is in diapers, please bring at least 3 disposable diapers. Also, include a no-spill cup or bottle if your child cannot drink from a paper cup.

• Label your child’s belongings with his/her name, for example: bottle, cup, diaper bag, pacifier, change of clothes, and lunch box.
• A mid-morning snack will be provided for children in the toddler and older rooms. Parents provide a packed lunch with all food cut and ready to serve. A mid-morning snack is served in our infant room as specified by the parent on the sign-in sheet. Bottles and food sent by the parent are also given to infants as specified by parents on the sign-in sheet.
