Recently, a Huron County Home Child Care Provider took the children in their care to the Huron County Museum and thought it was, " a pretty cool place to take kids"! As they walked there, they talked about their heritage and how they lived many years ago. They were excited to see the train! What a great visit!

Did you know that Huron Perth Public Health has a childcare guide for communicable diseases? In the Communicable Diseases section, you will find an A-Z listing of communicable diseases. Review the following guidelines to determine when it is safe for a child to return to home childcare after contracting a communicable disease.

Huron Perth Public Health recommends that children should not return to childcare until they are feeling well enough to participate in usual activities and are fever-free for 24 hours. If a child is vomiting or has diarrhea, they should not return to a home childcare program until 48 hours have passed with no vomiting and/or diarrhea.
