Vaccine
Preventable Diseases
All children and staff members must show evidence of
immunity or of immunization. In the event that one of these diseases is
contracted by a child or a staff member, the Director will refer to the
"Health in Day Care Manual" for pertinent information to share with
parents.
Blood
Borne Diseased
For the protection of staff and children, blood
spills and fecal matter will be cleaned up using latex gloves, disposable paper
towels, soap and water followed by an E.P.A. registered sanitizing
solution. Paper towels and gloves will be tripled bagged in plastic and
disposed of as soon as possible in the outside trash can.
Procedures
for Notifying Parents of the introduction of a communicable disease into the
school
A written notice is sent to the parents of each
child who may have been exposed. This is to be done as soon as possible
after the exposure. Parents are requested to keep the director informed
about exposures to contagious diseases outside of school. |
