American Journal of Public Health, 1988, vol. 78, issue 3, 311-313

Abstract: We surveyed 62 North Carolina day care centers (DDCs) to determine their policies for excluding children. We found that the addition of a temperature of 100-101°F to each of eight symptoms was associated with an increase in the percentage of DCCs choosing 'immediate pick-up'. Non-profit centers were more likely to send children home (70 per cent) than for-profit centers (48 per cent). Centers with and without written illness policies did not differ in their management of sick children.
