DAILY HEALTH CHECKS
Child Care Providers are responsible for protecting the health,
safety, and well being of children who attend their child-care facilities.
At Luisa’s Child Care in Amarillo, Texas, we know that children’s
health can change quickly! Children who are healthy and safe
are better prepared to grow and learn to their full potential.
A health check is a quick evaluation of a child’s body,
mood, and behavior. The purpose of a health check is to notice
any illnesses or health concerns the child might be experiencing.
Daily health checks are an important tool
to help me identify sick or injured children.
Therefore, each child’s day begins with a simple health check,
and it is completed before the parent or guardian leaves to work.
This is a quick way to make sure all children attending
are healthy enough to be in my Daycare Program.
I will not be able to tell when a child in my care is feeling well enough
to participate in activities, or recognize when a child is too sick
to stay in my Daycare Program, if that child is crying upon arrival
or doesn’t want to stay. Therefore, all children, including new
enrollments, must be willing to stay at Daycare without crying
in order to effectively pass their required health check
and be admitted in a peaceful manner for childcare.
In addition to daily health checks, my program has specific guidelines
to help me decide whether a child is too sick or not healthy enough
to stay for child care. I must always consider the health of other
children in my program. Daily health checks also provide
a record of any changes in the child’s appearance or behavior.
I will do a series of health checks across the day if
I suspect a child is not feeling well. Sick children are excluded
until they are considered healthy enough to return without putting
other children’s health & safety at risk, as well as their own.
My main concern and goal in caring for your child,
is to see your child grow physically, intellectually, socially,
and emotionally to the best of his/her ability.
EVALUATE YOUR CHILD’S HEALTH ON A DAILY BASIS
1) Is your child happy😊, healthy, and comfortable?
2) Are there any illness symptoms present? 😷 If so,
are they mild (stable)?
moderate (needs treatment)?
or severe (uncontrollable)?
3) What is your child’s temperature? 🤒
*without the use of fever suppressing medications,
for the past 24 hours.
4) Has your child been diagnosed with a viral infection
and is still fighting respiratory symptoms?
*(sore throat 😥, congestion, runny nose, sneezing 🤧, or cough 😷)
