Future Scholars Daycare COVID-19 Policy

This policy has been created using a combination of guidelines and recommendations from the CDC, the Marion County Health Department, and the Indiana Office of Early Childhood and Out of School Learning. All parents are expected to monitor their child’s health, and to keep them home if they display any symptoms of sickness.

​

General Sick Policy

Any child who has a fever (100.4 or higher), has diarrhea, or is vomiting may not come to daycare. If one of these events occur at daycare, you will be contacted to pick your child up immediately. The child must be symptom free without the aid of medication for a full 72 hours before they may return to daycare.
