It's that time of year when illnesses start to spread throughout our buildings. Our Health team works with local health departments to determine best practices when we see an increase in illnesses. The team also looks to guidance from CDPHE's How Sick is Too Sick document, which families can find in their Parent Handbook or by accessing this link https://cdphe.colorado.gov/dehs/child-care-regulations
Remember to wash your hands often, and if you are sick, please stay home and/or call your primary care provider.
