I too have had a similar situation. My child had a rash reaction to the mmr, which he received a week earlier. The daycare made me take him to the doc to confirm the rash was nothing more than a slight reaction. I understand that there are policies that must be followed; however, I would hope a daycare worker and especially the director would know basic skin rashes when they see them. Unfortunate that our daycare workers aren’t better educated to care for our children.

As a daycare provider, I can tell you that it is common policy for a daycare to require a doctor’s note when a child appears to have a rash. You are not a doctor. You have no idea how often parents will self diagnose their children with mild illnesses, when in reality they are seriously ill and/or contagious to the other children and daycare workers. You also have no idea how often parents lie to cover up serious/contagious illness. MOST parents will knowingly drop a sick child off at daycare.

Maybe you should look at this situation with another perspective… how would you like it if your child was getting contagious illnesses or diseases because she was in a daycare where parents were allowed to decide if a child’s symptoms were “nothing”? You wouldn’t.
Your daycare’s job is to look out for the best interest of all the children, not just yours. Part of that is requiring doctor’s notes if they notice a symptom in a child that could be the result of a potentially contagious illness.
