Illness Policy
Please conduct a health screening of your child prior to leaving your home and do not bring your child to the WSY if he or she is sick or contagious.

If a child displays symptoms of illness or becomes ill while at Kids’ Corner, a staff member will immediately locate the parent/guardian.
