VILLA YIP BEING SICK
Ziek
A child who is sick should not be in a childcare center. The attention that a child needs at that moment is simply not something our employees can offer. We believe that sick children should be at home or in a quiet environment (parents, friends and/or family). A child can come back to play as soon as he/she has visibly recovered.
In the event of general illness, if a child is vomiting, has frequent diarrhea, etc., our staff will contact you to discuss the situation and may decide to request a pick-up.
Fever
In principle, a sick child must be picked up from 38C (fever). If a child has fever symptoms (listlessness, rising temperature, red cheeks, etc.) we will contact you. We will then discuss whether or not a child should be picked up.
If a child has a fever or elevated temperature in the morning, it may be better to keep him/her at home. Children often get sicker during the day. The hustle and bustle of the other children is then too much, so they still have to be picked up. In any case, keep in mind that our employees may contact you for a pick-up request. Tip: have parents, friends and/or family stand by.
The rule of thumb in case of fever is: 38C = fever = pick up/keep at home
Suppository
Our employees do not administer suppositories. It is also not permitted to administer a suppository yourself. Inconsistent use of suppositories can result in a febrile seizure. We cannot accept any responsibility for this.
It is absolutely not the intention to give the child paracetamol/suppository when he or she comes to daycare that day! In the meantime, we have experienced that many parents are not aware that when the paracetamol/suppository has worn off, the fever can shoot up considerably, possibly resulting in a febrile seizure. We cannot take responsibility for this.
Has a child had a paracetamol/suppository in the evening or night before visiting the daycare? We would appreciate being informed about this.
General
We understand that it is not always convenient to pick up a sick child. We also realize that this is not always possible immediately, but we do strive for a pick-up period that is as short as possible. This is in the context of the well-being of the child. As soon as we suspect that a child is starting to get sick, we will contact you. This way we give you the opportunity to make arrangements. However, sometimes a child suddenly becomes sick. In that case, we immediately decide to make a pick-up request. In addition, as a childcare center we offer the possibility to catch up on illness in accordance with our exchange arrangement (see villayip.nl).
Special childhood illnesses
We follow the national RIVM guidelines regarding special childhood illnesses such as chickenpox, impetigo, etc. When children are visibly ill (with or without fever), at the time of a special childhood illness, we act in accordance with the RIVM guidelines.
