If the area is not a separate room, it shall be separated from space used by the other children. Isolation shall be used until the child can be removed from the center. Parents should remove the child from the center as soon as possible.
The child’s parent, or emergency contact, when a parent cannot be reached, shall be contacted as soon as possible after the illness is discovered. Parents should have the ill child removed from the center within one hour or make arrangements to have someone else remove the child.
