Health & Safety
The Health & Safety policies of Tri-Cities Baptist Church are based on the recommendations taken from the report of the Committee on Control of Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics. For the health and safety of all children we ask that you do not bring your child to the Nursery if s/he exhibits any of the following symptoms:
1. Fever within the previous 24 hours;
2. Vomiting and/or diarrhea (for any reason) within the previous 24 hours;
3. Any symptom of the usual childhood diseases—scarlet fever, measles, mumps, chicken pox, or whooping cough;
4. Common Cold—The child should be free of all symptoms (including runny nose with any colored discharge) of the common cold and/or allergies. If a child has chronic allergies, and is under the care of his/her physician, a written statement from the physician must be presented specifically stating the nature of the child’s condition and that the condition is not contagious;
5. Sore throat;
6. Croup;
7. Any unexplained rash;
8. Thrush;
9. Pink eye or other eye infections;
10. Any skin infection—boils, ringworm, impetigo;
11. Presence of head lice or eggs.
If our volunteers note any of these symptoms after the child has been left at the nursery, a parent will be called to pick up their child.
Your cooperation is essential to the well being of all our children. We are sure God will bless you for your unselfish love when you choose to stay home because your child does not seem 100% well.
Children who become ill during a church activity will be isolated and the parents will be contacted to pick up the child immediately. Teachers will not dispense medication to any child in the Preschool Area without the presence of at least one parent.
