Well Child Policy

We care about your family and want to keep everyone as safe and healthy as possible. Thank you for helping us protect the well-being of all of our families and children by following these guidelines. 

For the protection of all children in our ministry, we cannot accept a child who has had any of the following symptoms, including symptoms of Coronavirus (COVID-19), within the last 24 hours. We require that children be fever-free for 24 hours (without the use of fever-reducing medications) before entering our children’s environments. Children who show signs of sickness will not be permitted in the children’s ministry areas. 

If an illness is observed after a child is in our children’s ministry environment, your child will be separated from the other children, and a staff member will contact you.

Upon recommendation of the American Academy of Pediatrics, children should not be taken from the home with any of the following. 

  • Fever within the previous 24 hours

  • Vomiting or diarrhea

  • Any symptoms of infectious childhood disease such as chickenpox, strep throat, flu, or measles

  • Common cold (from onset through one week)

  • Sore throat

  • Persistent cough

  • Contagious or unexplained rash

  • Pink eye or eye infection

  • Runny nose
