Is a 99 Temperature Enough to Send a Child Home from Daycare?
The daycare called on Tuesday and told me I had to pick my son up because he had a fever. So of course normal protocol call, he can’t come back the next day, so I have to figure out what I will have to do about that. I got off work and came to pick him up and he was playing, laughing and jumping around having a good time. They talking about he been throwing up a lot, I’m sitting there looking at him like where???? Lol they said he had a temp of 99. A 99 temperature, Come on now did I just really get off work for a temp of 99, I only had a hour left for work. What do y’all think of the temperature policy in the daycares, ridiculous or what. Because 9 times out of 10 if he was sick he got it from one of the kids in the class room lol. I just can’t!

My daughter's school has a policy like that.
She threw up at school once during lunch. I was like well why didn't you call me ? They said unless they throw up 3x they don't send them home and that's a public schools policy
Oh wow it's not even considered a temperature until 100.4
When my oldest started school I had to send a DR note explaining her cough was due to bad seasonal allergies because they kept sending her home. Im like she's not even sick 🤦
@mswedes, I like that policy, because if they have to be out the whole next day it’s inconvenient, when he was feeling fine the next day.
That seems so silly! Like, even a newborn doesn't have a fever until it's over 100.3!
We called for anything over 100.5. Also gave a courtesy call for an elevated temp. We also give a courtesy call for vomiting but if I remember correctly, if they threw up 3 times, you had to come get them.
@alysia.alysia, yes they sent home like 6 child just out of that classroom that day. But he was not throwing up at all once he got home.
100.2 is what I meant to put.
@darlinexo, u know it could of been something he ate n once it got out he could’ve been cool too.
I worked at a daycare for over 5 years before having my children. I wouldn't say it's ridiculous. They need to look out for the other children too. If your child is throwing up & has any sort of fever I would call the parent. I wouldn't want the other children getting sick.
I believe by law in the state of Texas you can send a child home it’s 100.4 or more. You should ask them for their sick policy
@shannae3, that makes some since, I would have been okay with 100 but 99 lol no
I work in child care and that temp is not alarming we wouldn’t even called u about that if it wasn’t any other symptoms.
But if he was throwing up and has 102 or higher then we would’ve called and asked he be picked up.
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
We are having a debate at work....
Should you pick up hitchhikers?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
My chart is becoming more up and sown instead of staying between two temps. I have no clue what it's doing, lol. This morning's temp surprised me since I was expecting 97 or 96.8.
I have a feeling I'm out
Just woke up this morning with what I believe to be another sinus infection. This would explain all my 'pregnancy' symptoms away. I had headaches, dizzyness which brought on nausea, higher temps, sleeping lots, and of course a stuffy nose.
If he was throwing up at my center and had a fever of 101.1 then we would call you to pick him up not not until it’s 101.1 and then he wouldn’t be able to come the next day.
