Sick Child Policy

It is our desire to provide a healthy and safe environment for all children at DCC. Parents are encouraged to be considerate of other families when deciding if their children are well enough to attend our programs. A child may attend DCC with symptoms if cleared by a doctor’s note and is able to actively participate in DCC activities. A child who is observed by our workers to be ill will be separated from other children, and the parent or guardian will be contacted to pick up the child. In general, we will defer to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) standards for sick child symptoms and protocol. See instructions below:
