I have a 4yr and I use to take care of some kids in my house and everytime my some was sick or had something wrong with him I would let the moms know what was going on. I thought that was the way it was suppose to be, to protect the other kids.

ok, when i was working at day cares and preschools it is the LAW to inform the parents that a child has a sickness going around. they should never say that "little johnny" has this but send home a note saying that your child has been exposed to this.. it should also say what the signs are and how to treat the illness. it is a licencing law were i live from the health department.

Some laws do vary state to state, but I would seriously tell the school that this is an instance where everyone should be told to be on the lookout. Besides, some women may not know they are prego when they could have been exposed! They should have some policy in place for such occassions. What would htey do if a child came down with chicken pox etc? If they would alert other parents, this should have been no different. Granted many kids now are vaccinated against chicken pox but they can still get them. It might also be time to find another school if you aren't satisfied by their actions.

It is ABSOLUTELY their responsibility to warn parents of any diseases or sicknesses within thier establishment. In my childrens school as soon as a child is diagnosed with any illness a report is placed in each childs folder to take home. You should definitely talk to the director and demand answers! That is totally unexeptable behaviourand shows lack of responsibility. I would be demanding some type of compensation also or pulling my child out from that school, we as parents need to be informed of any diseases present in the school so we know what to look out for.

I would encourage you to look into other options for your child care like maybe a family member or friend who could use the money. I was exposed to fifths disease in one of my pregnancies and I totally panicked. There is actually a blood test they can do to see if you have had it. It is being responsable to let others know when there children have been exposed with an illness, but your not always going to be dealing with responsable and considerate people. Good luck and I wish you the best with your baby.

They should have had it posted somewhere in plain sight about any disease going around. That is what they do at my daughter's current daycare center. It is on the front door as soon as you walk in. You should complain to them and to their board. That is what I would do. If they don't do anything, you report them to social service, or whoever does their inspections.
