A child should not attend or may be sent home if they exhibit any of the following symptoms:
- Fever of 100°F or higher (under the arm)
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Red, irritated, or discharge-filled eyes
- Persistent or excessive coughing
- Any other symptoms that may indicate a contagious illness
Returning to Care
Children may return to the center only after they have been symptom-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing or symptom-relieving medication, unless otherwise directed by a healthcare provider.
If your child becomes ill while at KidCare, a parent or authorized emergency contact will be notified and asked to pick up the child promptly.
Our center closes promptly at 6:30 PM.
If you anticipate being late, please call the center as soon as possible to let us know your estimated arrival time.
Late pick-up fees begin at 6:31 PM and are assessed as follows:
- $30 late fee
- Plus $1.00 for each additional minute after 6:30 PM
Late fees help cover the additional staffing costs incurred when employees must remain after closing.
Thank you for helping us ensure our staff can return home to their families on time.
