Our nursery is for well children. We love your child and will miss the opportunity to have them in our care. We simply do not have the facilities or staff to give the separate, special care that sick children need. If your child has any of the following symptoms, we will not be able to care for him/her in our nursery:

· Fever over 98.6 orally or 99.6 rectally. Since fever is so often associated with illness, we cannot chance accepting children with fevers resulting from teething.

· Runny nose with a yellow or green colored discharge, or congestion associated with a cough or fever.

· Vomiting within the last 24 hours.

· Diarrhea within the last 24 hours.

· Skin rashes or eruptions of unknown origin including impetigo, measles, chicken pox, etc. (If your child contracts any of these, please notify the church office.)

· Persistent coughing associated with respiratory infection, including colds, bronchitis, etc.

· Conjunctivitis (pink eye), which may also have a colored discharge or drainage.

· Parasites, any form of lice, mites or ringworm. These aren't common but when present are very contagious.
