Health Information

## Health Information The health and safety of every child in our care is our top priority. Please review these policies carefully. ### Enrollment Health Requirements Before your child's first day, we require: - **Up-to-date immunization records** (required by Minnesota state law). Children ages 3–5 must have the HIB vaccination on file before attending. - **Completed health care summary form** signed by your child's physician, submitted within 30 days of enrollment. Children arriving without completed immunization records on file cannot stay for the day. ### When to Keep Your Child Home Please keep your child home if they have any of the following: - Fever of 100.4°F or higher - Vomiting twice in a day - Three or more loose stools - Unexplained fatigue or lethargy - Eye or ear discharge - Difficulty breathing - Undiagnosed rash - Lice or ringworm - Chickenpox (until all lesions are crusted over) - Bacterial infections such as strep throat — children must have at least 24 hours of antibiotic treatment before returning ### If Your Child Becomes Ill at School If a child shows signs of illness during the day, staff will contact you immediately to arrange pickup. A quiet rest area will be provided until you arrive. ### Reporting Contagious Illness Please notify the center if your child will be absent, and **report contagious illnesses within 24 hours**. We will notify families when a contagious illness is confirmed in their child's classroom. ### Emergency Authorization Your enrollment forms authorize CDLC staff to take necessary medical emergency steps during program activities. **Questions?** Call 952-435-8105 or email contactCDLC@popmn.org.
