    Health/Sickness Policy
    The Pumpkin Patch’s health policy is in accordance with the Department of Social Services Regulations. If a child has been sent home ill, they must be kept home one full school day before they are allowed to return. The Center will request a statement from the child’s physician stating that the child is free of communicable and contagious diseases, and is able to return to school.
