The decision to send a sick child home can be a difficult one for providers to make. They have to balance the needs of working parents while also looking out for the health of other children and staff in their programs. At Child Care Aware® of America, we believe that it's important to keep children in care when it's safe, and just as important to create a comforting environment for children who aren’t feeling well.
