We ask that sick children not attend Promiseland in order to ensure the health of children and staff. If your child needs to stay with you during the service, you can view the service on the video in the harvest area.
The Committee on Control of Infectious Diseases of the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that a child should not leave home when any of the following symptoms exist:
- Fever (over 100.5 degrees).
- Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours.
- Any symptom of childhood diseases such as scarlet fever, German measles, mumps, chicken pox or whooping cough.
- Common cold - from onset through one week.
- Sore throat.
- Croup.
- Any unexplained rash.
- Any skin infection - boils, ringworm or impetigo.
- Untreated pink eye or other eye infection.
- Any communicable disease.
- Lice, including the presence of eggs or nits.
These are the guidelines that we follow and we expect that a child or volunteer be free of fever for 24 hours before coming back to Promiseland. We do not dispense any medication to a child. If a child appears to be ill, we will notify the parent immediately by posting the child's I.D. tag number on the screens in the auditorium.
