The staff members of Emerson Academy are committed to promoting healthy habits and preventing the spread of disease/illness as much as possible. We urge that all parents and/or guardians take their child’s health seriously so that we can work together to prevent the spread of illness. As an inclusive child development center we provide care for children with special needs. Many of these children have a decreased ability to fight infection and can become seriously ill when exposed to contagious conditions.
Emerson Academy Child Development Center follows the Texas Department of Health guidelines* regarding when a child should be excluded from care. It is ultimately up to the directors to determine whether a child must be excluded from care and for how long. We will provide an illness report form for you to sign if your child is sent home from Emerson due to illness.
If your child has a contagious illness a note from a licensed healthcare professional must be provided before your child can return to school.
Please keep the list of conditions that warrant exclusion from care for future reference.
