What should you do when a child appears to have a health issue? What if you sense something is wrong but can’t quite identify the problem, knowing that making a diagnosis is not within your role? How should you respond when other parents voice concerns about the risk of infection transmission or make negative comments about the sick child’s parent?

Every childcare setting must establish its own exclusion guidelines and communicate them to parents upon their child’s admission. The criteria for exclusion should be based on official publications from recognized organizations and should be justified by the potential risk of keeping the child in the childcare environment.

This training covers the criteria for exclusion due to illness and offers strategies to ensure that exclusions do not become a source of conflict.

Training duration: 6 hours, including 2 hours on child development, 1 hour on the educational program, 2 hours on the role of the childcare provider, and 1 hour on health.
