Our recommendation to all families is that prior to the first illness, a plan is in place for care outside the Center during a period of time when your child is ill. The Stanford University WorkLife Center can provide a list of resources for when your child is ill. Health policy CCSC's health policies are under the jurisdiction of the Santa Clara Board of Health and Welfare, and California State Community Care Licensing Agency. Please assist us in providing the best possible care for all children by adhering to our health policies. At CCSC, temperature will be taken by the axillary method only.
Every effort is made to assess and address each family's unique needs.
A child made irritable by illness is not only uncomfortable but, often requires more time and attention than teachers can provide. Since an especially needy child will decrease a teacher's ability to attend to the needs of the other children in the room, our teachers will use their discretion in determining whether or not a child feels well enough to participate at the Center. A child should not be brought to the Center if she or he is unable to function fully in routine activities, including going outside. We are aware that some symptoms of illness are not clearly developed in the morning at drop-off time. Return after Illness Children may return to the Center one full day after symptoms have disappeared.
