This book gives information on the symptoms, how to control the disease, when to send the children home, and when to allow them to come back. It also gives sample letters and forms for parents. I'm sure it will be very helpful.

Wonderful color pictures and great information to read. I have used it to give teachers and parents information on many condition and how to control/pervent spreading. It is easy to understand information, nothing overly medical so parents and teacher can understand it without needing a medical dictionary close by.

This is a very good resource for our child care center. We see lots of rashes and other illness and this book helps us talk to parents about signs and symptoms. My only issue with the book is that pictures generally show extreme conditions and often we see the beginning of something. We don't try to diagnose, that's the job of the peditrician, but the book is good for narrowing down our suspicions. This book is on my desk and used multiple times during the week by all the teachers.

I needed the book for a class that had already started. I purchased the book on a Friday and the seller sent it out for me on Saturday morning. I had the book by Monday. I emailed him my concern and he did what he could so I could have it ASAP. I would highly recommend this seller. Very good transaction.

This book has been so helpful. Any non-paranoid parent should own this book if their child attends a childcare facility or school. Although intended for childcares, this book was very helpful to me as a parent as well.
