is this the first time she has been in group care??? often see that children in group care for the first time, whether daycare kindy or school are sick often for the first six months or so as they come into closer contact with other children and consequently their illnesses. The stage at which parents keep their children home does vary.

My children have been in a variety of care situations but I still find that a new facility/location brings another bundle/strain of different bugs/germs and thus we seem to be susceptable to whatevers going round for the first few months.
