Treasure Island Wellness Policy

To ensure the health of children and staff, we ask that sick children not attend the ministry.  

Young preschoolers are very susceptible to colds, flu, and other diseases.  We realize a child’s illness can be a difficult time for a parent, and that it is often rustrating to rearrange your schedule to provide care for a sick child at home.  

Treasure Island desires to help eliminate these concerns as much as possible.  This requires that our classrooms have the healthiest environment possible.  The best way to prevent illness is to prevent exposure.  With prevention in mind, we ask that parents keep preschoolers at home  when any of the following signs of illness are present: 

• Severe cold/sneezing
• Temperature of 99.6 or higher within the past 24 hours
• Persistent cough/sore throat or swollen glands
• Red or sore eyes/crust around lash area/pink eye
• Discharge from nose that is thick or not clear
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Undiagnosed skin eruptions or rashes
• Fainting or seizures
• Signs or symptoms compatible with communicable diseases
• Lice or nits within the past 24 hours.  Flamingo Road Church enforces a “no nit” policy

Preschoolers who exhibit any of the above symptoms while under Treasure Island’s care will not be permitted to remain under our supervision.  If the child becomes ill while under our care, the parents will be contacted and requested to come pick up their child immediately.  If the child is being treated with an antibiotic, he or she should have received treatment for at least 24 hours before returning to their Treasure Island classroom.
