KCC Illness Policy
KCC kids are young and, in some cases, have vulnerable immune systems. To keep the center a healthy environment for everyone, we ask that kiddos and therapists remain home if they exhibit any of the following:
- Temperature at or above 100.4 degrees
- Vomiting or diarrhea (with or without fever)
- Runny nose that’s frequent and accompanied by lethargy or frequent coughing
- Frequent wet or productive cough
- Conjunctivitis (pink eye)
- A positive culture for streptococcal throat infection (strep throat) – exclusion until child has had at least 24 hours of appropriate treatment and is fever-free
- A quickly spreading rash
- Head lice, scabies, and ringworm – exclusion until child has had at least 24 hours of appropriate treatment
If your child will be absent due to illness, please follow the guidelines of our cancellation policies. We MUST be notified immediately of contagious illnesses so all visiting families can be made aware of possible exposure.
Kids may return to the center if they are symptom-free for 24 hours without the aid of medication.
If any of the above symptoms are observed during therapy, the parent/guardian will be notified immediately and will be expected to pick up their child within the hour of contact.
