As a director of a child care center, this has been an invaluable resource. The detailed list of exclusion criteria helps ensure consistency and having the quick reference sheets on each symptom/illness gives us an additional resource for not only our staff but for our parents as well.

Excellent resource. I'm a family physician, and the pages in this book make great handouts for parents to take to daycare or school when their child is ill regarding return to school.

This book was invaluable! It provided everything I needed to know about recognizing and managing various illnesses that we see in preschools.

Great reference book for school nurses and Pediatrician offices. Very concise and quick to use as a reference. Love it.
