- skin rashes
- sore throat
- congestion
- cough
- nausea/vomiting

- Please keep children not feeling well enough to attend or participate in their normal activities (i.e. school) at home, even if no specific symptoms are obvious. Our center offers active play and socialization. We are not equipped to provide quiet time and rest on an individual basis for sick children. We will strictly enforce this policy for the comfort and health of our children.
