Childcare Illness Conversation Guide

Prepare responsible questions about symptoms, provider policies, collection, medication, and return to care.

Prepare a responsible conversation

This tool creates questions; it never provides a “safe to attend” decision.

Questions generated for Fever

  1. What temperature method and threshold does your written policy use?
  2. How is a child monitored while waiting for collection?
  3. What recovery and participation criteria are required before return?

Safety boundary: This guide does not diagnose illness or decide whether a child is safe to attend. Follow urgent-care advice and your provider’s written policy.
