32 | Director stated that when a child becomes ill while in care she is called by the teachers to care for the child. She will then call the parents to pick up the ill child and will either have the child sit in the office with her, or both D1 and the child will sit outside on a bench until the parents arrive to pick up the child. D1 further stated sometimes children will have a runny nose due to allergies, however staff can tell the difference between a child who is ill and a child who has allergies. In addition, D1 stated each classroom has cleaning supplies, the teachers clean throughout the day, specifically before and after the children eat. D1 also stated children wash their hands before and after eating.
S1 stated if a child becomes ill while in care they are sent home, but some children do have allergies, and they might have a slight runny nose. S1 also stated teachers clean their classrooms throughout the day, specifically between eating and different activities. Both D1 and S1 stated there is a janitorial service that cleans the facility every night.
