Wellness Policy

The Little Way for Moms and Kids has adopted the following wellness policy in an effort to keep all of our children, as well as ourselves and the rest of our families, as healthy as possible. Our wellness policy applies both to adults and children.

In general, if your child has nasal secretions but they are clear and watery, and your child is happy and playful, pain-free, and has a normal temperature for at least 24 hours, please feel free to join us for meetings or events.

However, please do not bring anyone to any meeting or event if he or she exhibits any of the following symptoms:

  • A fever within the last 24 hours
  • Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours
  • Nasal secretions which are thick, yellow, or green (especially if accompanied by a fever, an earache, frequent night waking, or a peaked look)
  • A cough accompanied by fever, chills, and/or sore throat
  • Eye discharge or conjunctivitis (pink eye)
  • Spider bites or anything that looks like a spider bite (MRSA and staph infections can sometimes be mistaken for spider bites.)
  • Boils or a rash (especially with fever and itching)
  • Open or oozing sores
  • Chicken Pox  (lesions need to be crusted over for 7 days)
  • Lice or scabies
  • Any known contagious disease (measles, mumps, whooping cough, etc.)

As a courtesy, if any illness should occur within 24 hours following an event, please contact the mothers who attended either by phone or e-mail so that everyone will be aware if an illness is making its rounds through the group.

Thank you for your cooperation.
