[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's normal? What's too many? Recently our daycare seems to be sending out a lot more. We have kids in two rooms, and one of those rooms often does activities/rest time with another room - increasing exposure.

With two kids, two working parents, and limited PTO, it's stressful to hear HFM or strep is once again spreading through the building. My nightmare is two siblings swapping HFM back and forth for a month. [/quote]

Do you mean how many notifications does a center typically issue?  The answer is, a lot, because children get childhood diseases.  Centers are required to report certain communicable diseases, and ours generally notifies us of any of those, even if the sick kid is in a totally different classroom.  FWIW, my center has had cases of HFM, pinkeye, and a few other things, and my kid has never gotten any of those diseases.

And there are probably more because kids are back in school sharing germs.  Older siblings who are exposed in their schools may be passing them along to younger siblings.  [/quote]
