The M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers are all subject to inspection by state and city health, fire, and licensing officials. 3. Termination Policy The first two weeks will be regarded as a trial period, in which case either party may terminate the contract without notice. After the first two weeks of enrollment, one month written notice from parent or provider is required to terminate the contract, with the exception of gross misconduct on part of the provider, parent, or child. These are grounds for immediate discontinuation of service. In cases of non-payment, legal action may be taken, and the parents will pay all legal fees incurred. 1 4. Child Care Center Hours The M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers are open Monday through Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (depending on the school site). The Centers will follow the M-DCPS calendar year. Please see Appendices. Holidays The Centers will observe the same holidays and spring/summer breaks as the M-DCPS schedule.

Payments is due on the first Monday of of the bi-weekly service period. The Bi-weekly Payment Schedule is included in the Appendices. Failure to make payments prior to the service periods requires that the student be withdrawn from the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Center. A sample letter is included in the registration packet to be used to communicate fee collection information to the parents. Parents must pay separate fees for food services based on the child’s free/reduced lunch status. 2 Non-Sufficient Checks (NSF) Any checks returned for non-sufficient funds will not be re-deposited. Within 24 hours of notification, cash for the check amount and any bank service charges must be paid or your child will be withdrawn from the center. Registration Fee A non-refundable registration fee is due at time of enrollment. A child's placement is not secured until both the registration and the signed Enrollment application is submitted. The non-refundable registration fee for the 2011-2012 year is $150.00 per child. The registration fee is due at the time of registration. 6. Attendance/Lateness If the child will not be attending child care due to illness or other reason, please inform the Center Director as soon as possible. Discounts will not be given for children’s absences, regardless of the reason. Daily attendance will be maintained in an Attendance Roster, as well as the MDCPS Infant and Toddler Center registration card. If the child is picked up after 5:00 p.m. there will be a late charge assessed of $1.00 for every one minute (unless prior arrangements have been made). Arrival/Dismissal All children must be brought to the classroom by their parents and signed in and out on a daily basis. Family members, parents, guardian or other designees must be listed on the emergency contact card to be preapproved for drop off and pick up. If there is an exception, please be sure to notify the Center as soon as possible. In that case, the person picking up the child will be required to present a picture ID, before the child is released. If there is a court order prohibiting a parent or other family member from the child, written notification from the custodial parent must be kept on file in the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Center. Please send the child clean, dressed and breakfast fed, with necessary supplies for the day. Please do not send half eaten breakfasts, breakfast bars, candy or gum with the children. 7. Insurance Upon registering the child, it is mandatory to obtain the student accident insurance issued through the school district. No child may attend the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers without this insurance. This is a supplemental insurance plan and it is required even if you already have family or individual 3 medical insurance coverage. This supplemental insurance plan DOES NOT take the place of family or individual medical insurance coverage. It is your responsibility to become familiar with any insurance limitations and other information provided in the brochure. Insurance must be purchased online at www.K12StudentInsurance.com, and proof of the purchase must be printed and presented at time of registration. No child can begin care at the program without this insurance. 8. Health Issues For the health and safety of all of the children in the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers, please do not bring any child to the Center sick. Children with mild cold like symptoms that are otherwise feeling and acting well can attend the Center. Mild cold-like symptoms include clear runny nose, slight cough, and fever. If you are not sure if the child should be brought to the Center, please call and check with Center staff. If a child becomes ill during child care center hours, the parents will be contacted to pick up the child. Parents need to pick up their children within one hour of being notified. If parents are not available, the emergency contact person will be notified. Once the child is removed from the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Center due to illness, they may not return to the Center until symptoms requiring removal are no longer present. 9. Exclusion From Child Care A child with any of the following illnesses must be completely free of any symptoms before returning to the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Center. If the child is taking antibiotics for an illness, the child may return after the initial 24 hours of beginning antibiotics as long as he or she has a slight to no fever (under 100F under the arm), is no longer contagious, and is otherwise feeling well enough to participate in the daily schedule. Signs of illness include the following; unusual lethargy, irritability, persistent crying for no reason, runny nose (more than clear), cough (more than slight), difficulty breathing, diarrhea, vomiting, mouth sores, rashes (note from doctor stating non-contagious is ok), pink eye, chicken pox, mumps, measles, hepatitis A, impetigo, lice, ringworm, scabies, strep throat, scarlet fever, tuberculosis, shingles, and any other contagious disease or rash. Any child with a fever of 100 degrees or above, orally (in the mouth), or axillary (under the arm), may not attend child care. State law requires that parents be notified if any child attending the Center has been exposed to certain contagious diseases. Written notification will be provided to all parents. 4 10. Medication (Board Policy 5330) Please see Appendices for the School Board Policy (5330) on administering medication to children/students in the schools. It also applies to the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers located in Miami Dade County Public Schools. 11. Field Trips Field trips will be occasionally conducted as part of the program activities for children two years and older. These trips may include walks to the park, around the neighborhood, fire station, or other places of interest. Notice will be provided in advance and permission forms must be signed by the parents. Special precautions will be implemented to ensure children’s safety. Parents and family members are encouraged to accompany the children on the field trips. However, all adults must complete the volunteer screening forms and be approved by Miami- Dade County Public Schools. All chaperones must be 21 years or older. Children not enrolled in the program may not attend the field trips. 12. State Requirement for Reporting Child Abuse By Florida statutes, Chapters 39 and 415, all staff members must report any suspected incidents of possible child abuse or neglect. Please note that any child can be questioned by the Florida Department of Children & Families (FDCF) Child Protective Services at any time without parental consent. 13. Staff Qualifications Program oversight is provided by the M-DCPS Office of Early Childhood Programs. The daily program operation will be supervised by the school’s administration. Each M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Center will be staffed by an individual with Center Director Credentials (Job Code 4248), and depending on the number of children, two (2) to three (3) hourly paraprofessionals, with Florida Child Care Professional Credential (FCCPC-formerly CDA) (Job Code 8009). 14. Parent Meetings/Conferences Parent meetings/conferences are an important component in a child care and preschool environment. The purpose of these meetings is to support the child’s social, emotional, physical, and academic development. There will be at least two scheduled conferences. However, if a parent has a concern or needs to speak with the Center Director or School Administrator, a meeting can be scheduled. 5 15. Uniform Policy Children over two (2) years of age must wear uniforms based on the colors of the school site the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers are located. Center staff will provide information on where they can be purchased. Although the use of uniforms is not mandatory for children under two (2) years of age, parents are welcomed to either purchase or have uniforms made for their children. All children need an extra set of labeled clothing left at the Center, kept in marked zip lock bags. 16. Behavior Management & Discipline Discipline of a child is achieved through patience, consistency and positive reinforcement. At the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers, children are taught manners, kindness and respect for others. Expectations and rules are also clearly explained and repeated throughout the day. If a child is old enough to understand the rules and does not follow them and exhibits inappropriate behavior (hitting, aggression, etc.), hurts others, or property, the following developmentally appropriate guidance techniques will be used. These techniques are as follows: 1. Positive Reinforcement: The child will be encouraged when he or she is demonstrating acceptable behavior. 2. Redirection: The child is redirected to another activity and given an opportunity to try again at another time. 3. Time-Out: The child is separated from the group for an age appropriate amount of time (one minute per one year of age). This technique is only used when a child repeatedly does not follow directions, exhibits temper tantrum type behaviors, or hurts himself or others. 4. Last Resort: When a child's behavior is continually disruptive or dangerous to others, a meeting will be held with the parents. If the problems cannot be resolved, other child care arrangements will be made. 17. Classroom Visits Parents may visit the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers at various times throughout the day. However, to avoid disruption in the Center and the learning process, it is preferred that visits are scheduled. 18. Snacks & Meals Good nutrition is necessary for children to develop healthy bodies and minds and is vital to their overall health, development and education. Free breakfast will be provided to all children through the School Breakfast Program (SBP) and free or reduced lunch will be provided through the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) administered by the Department of Education-Food and Nutrition 6 Division. Families not eligible for free or reduced lunch, can either purchase the school lunch or provide lunch for their children. All snacks are provided by the parents. Please note that snacks and meals must be labeled, sealed and put in a lunch pack/bag. If a child has any particular dietary issue resulting from being a vegetarian, or having allergies, religious beliefs, or non-religious beliefs, please inform the Center staff. If applicable, please provide a doctor's note indicating such. Infants need to be provided with either breast milk or formula and baby food. A feeding schedule for parents to review daily will be provided by the MDCPS Infant and Toddler Centers. 19. Curriculum The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) endorsed curricula, High Scope Infant-Toddler or Creative Curriculum, will be used with all age groups, depending on the school site. These developmentally appropriate approaches provide active learning experiences, with flexible schedules, routines and supportive adult-child interactions. These programs are highly effective in fostering learning, initiative and a sense of self in young children and address each child’s needs at their developmental level, focusing on enhancing independence and creative problem solving. Children learn best through direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas. During this active learning process, infants and toddlers are encouraged to discover the world around them by exploring and playing. Learning and development are anchored by long-term, trusting relationships with caregivers, who are close at hand to support the children as they play. Adults scaffold further learning as they interact with children throughout the day. Ongoing professional development and technical assistance will be provided by the Office of Early Childhood Programs. Cultural Traditions Cultural and family traditions are a part of a child’s life and learning experiences. Therefore, many cultural events are incorporated into the curriculum. Families are invited to share cultural traditions enjoyed at home and family celebrations. However, if you prefer that your child be excused from any particular activity or celebration, please notify the Center Director. Outdoor activities Weather permitting, outdoor play will be part of the daily schedule. These activities may include the following: climbing, sliding, jumping, running, balls, jump rope, racing, water balloons, parachute, bubbles, follow the leader, ride-on toys, wagons, tunnels, safe water toys, various games, water table, painting, neighborhood walks, exploring nature/weather, etc. 7 Toys The M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers have well organized, separate, age appropriate toys for the infant and toddler classes. Infants will not be allowed to be around or play with small objects and toys. During the initial adjustment period children can bring something from home with them; a special blanket, toy, or teddy can be very comforting. Photos of family members, neighbors and pets can be left at the Center to help remind the child of familiar people if he or she feels lonely during the day. However, please do not bring toys to the Center except on designated sharing/show and tell days. Please note that toy weapons should never be brought to the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers. 20. Diaper Policy It is the parent's responsibility to provide diapers, wipes, and diaper cream for their child. Each child has his or her own clearly labeled diaper bin, either in the infant/younger toddler room or older toddler/preschooler room, depending on the age of the child. Diapers are checked frequently and changed every three hours or more often, if required. The diaper changing tables are cleaned and disinfected between each diaper change, and hand washing of child care provider and child is performed after each diaper change. 21. Toilet Training Potty training is encouraged as long as the child is ready (typically between two and three years of age). The initial training needs to be done at home for at least two weeks with success before it can be effectively started at the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers. Parents will be required to supply pull-ups and wipes. Children will be allowed to come to the Centers in cotton training pants/underwear after they have been accident free for at least two weeks in pullups. Communication between parents and the Centers is imperative for a successful transition from diapers to toilet. 22. Parent Supplies Parents are responsible for supplying the following items: diapers/pull-ups, wipes, diaper creams, tooth brush, weather appropriate clothes and a change of clothes, jacket, shoes that lace-up or Velcro and/or stay on feet (no flip-flops, please), pacifier (if needed), and a swimsuit. Sunscreen is applied every day to any child playing outside. For the older children sleeping on a mat: a crib sheet, a blanket, and a pillow are needed. If necessary a comfort object for rest time, is permitted. Children’s crib sheets, blankets and pillows should be taken home every Friday and washed and returned to the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers the following Monday. Children will get dirty throughout the day because of food, paint, markers, dirt, bubbles, etc.; therefore, please dress your child accordingly 8 for play. The M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers are not responsible for replacing stained or soiled clothing. It is highly recommended that children’s names are written on the tags of their clothing, especially socks and underwear, in order to prevent any clothing mix-ups. Please check the child's cubby periodically to ensure that he or she has all of the necessary items required at the Centers. As the weather changes throughout the year, so do the items needed by children. 23. Nap Time Infants and toddlers sleep in separate areas or rooms. The infants sleep in provider provided cribs, and the toddlers sleep on mats. The goal is to have the two different age groups (24 months and older, younger than 24 months) sleeping on the same afternoon nap schedule. Generally, children 18 months and younger will take a morning nap as well, moving toward a one nap a day schedule when they are between 12 and 18 months. Children will never be forced to sleep; however, they are encouraged to remain quiet and on their mat during this time. For the older, toddler age children, sleeping on mats, please send a crib sheet, pillow and blanket that can be kept at the Centers. Daily Baby Sheets For infants 18 months and younger, parents will receive a daily baby sheet. This sheet will list when the child was given a bottle (when applicable), what they ate and drank, when diapers were changed, their nap schedule, and any other pertinent information. 24. Daily Schedule The M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers follow a developmentally appropriate daily schedule. Actual times and activities may vary depending on the time of the year, weather, age and developmental level of the children. Age appropriate activities are scheduled with flexibility in order to respond to the needs of each individual child and their stage of development. 25. Emergency Procedures The M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers follow the M-DCPS plan for emergencies. In the event of an emergency closing during the school day, parents will be notified by phone. Parents are asked to pick up their children within one hour of being notified of the emergency. It is vital that parents stay tuned to radio, television and internet advisories for information on school closings due to inclement weather or other emergencies. 9 Fire drills are conducted once a month at various times of the day. The M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers follow the school’s fire drill schedule and emergency plans. Teachers will practice fire drill procedures with the children. Medical Emergencies Emergency information is kept on file in the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers. In case of illness or injury, this information will be used to notify the parent or the person designated by the parent, of the child's status. If the child is injured while at the Center, first aid will be administered. If treatment by a doctor is necessary, every effort will be made to contact the parent or the doctor on the emergency card. In the event of a severe emergency, the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers will call 911, notify the parents and the school administration. In all cases, an injury report will be completed, and a copy will be given to the parents as well as the Florida Department of Children and Families (FDCF). Authorization for emergency treatment must be signed at the time of enrollment to ensure that in the event of an emergency, your child receives the necessary emergency treatment he or she needs. It is very important that all emergency contact information is up to date and correct. Please inform the Center immediately of any changes. Parents are responsible for all costs involved in emergency medical treatment, including emergency transportation, if required. 26. Communication Good communication is an important component of a quality child care center. Therefore, if you do not understand something, have a concern, or you feel uncomfortable with one or more of the policies and/or procedures outlined in the Parent Handbook, it is vital that you speak with the Center Director for further clarification. Strong home-school communication ensures that children will benefit from their early childhood experiences and develop to his/her full potential. Parent/Teacher communication will be accomplished via parent meetings, parent memos, monthly calendars, informal arrival and dismissal information, and special occasion gatherings. 27. Contract Compliance Please keep your Parent Handbook accessible so you can periodically review the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers’ policies and procedures, as necessary. The M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers reserve the right to amend any portion of 10 the Parent Handbook at any time. If and when a change is made, parents will be notified and provided with a copy. Please note that each M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Center will have their own individualized Parent Policy Handbook with specific child care hours, schedules and activities for their sites. You must also sign and adhere to their policies. 11 By signing the M-DCPS Infant and Toddler Centers Parent Handbook, the parent(s)/legal guardian(s) agree to abide by the policies and procedures described. The provider may amend the policies and procedures by giving the parent(s)/guardian(s) a copy of the new or modified policies at least one (1) week before they go into effect. _____________________________________ Parent/Guardian Signature _______________ Date _____________________________________ Parent/Guardian Signature _______________ Date _____________________________________ Provider _______________ Date 12 Acknowledgement Receipt I,_______________________________, acknowledge receipt of the “Know Your Child Care Center” Brochure (CF-PI 176-24). _____________________________________ Parent/Guardian Signature _______________ Date _____________________________________ Parent/Guardian Signature _______________ Date 13 Whose Child Is This "Whose child is this?" I asked one day Seeing a little one out at play "Mine", said the parent with a tender smile "Mine to keep a little while To bathe his hands and comb his hair To tell him what he is to wear To prepare him that he may always be good And each day do the things he should" "Whose child is this?" I asked again As the door opened and someone came in "Mine", said the teacher with the same tender smile "Mine, to keep just for a little while To teach him how to be gentle and kind To train and direct his dear little mind To help him live by every rule And get the best he can from school" "Whose child is this?" I ask once more Just as the little one entered the door "Ours" said the parent and the teacher as they smiled And each took the hand of the little child "Ours to love and train together Ours this blessed task forever." - Author Unknown 14 C.

(0810) d During the 2009 legislative session, a new law was passed that requires child care facilities, family day care homes and large family child care homes provide parents with information detailing the causes, symptoms, and transmission of the influenza virus (the flu) every year during August and September. My signature below verifies receipt of the brochure on Influenza Virus, The Flu, A Guide to Parents: Name:_________________________________ Child’s Name:_________________________ Date Received:________________________ Signature:_____________________________ What should I do if my child gets sick? Consult your doctor and make sure your child gets plenty of rest and drinks a lot of fluids. Never give aspirin or medicine that has aspirin in it to children or teenagers who may have the flu. Call or take your child to a doctor right away if your child: • • • • • as a high fever or fever that lasts a long time H Has trouble breathing or breathes fast Has skin that looks blue Is not drinking enough Seems confused, will not wake up, does not want to be held, or has seizures (uncontrolled shaking) • Gets better but then worse again • Has other conditions (like heart or lung disease, diabetes) that get worse Please complete and return this portion of the brochure to your child care provider, in order for them to maintain it in their records. How can I protect my child from the flu? A flu vaccine is the best way to protect against the flu. Because the flu virus changes year to year, annual vaccination against the flu is recommended. The CDC recommends that all children from the ages of 6 months up to their 19th birthday receive a flu vaccine every fall or winter (children receiving a vaccine for the first time require two doses). You also can protect your child by receiving a flu vaccine yourself. What can I do to prevent the spread of germs? The main way that the flu spreads is in respiratory droplets from coughing and sneezing. This can happen when droplets from a cough or sneeze of an infected person are propelled through the air and infect someone nearby. Though much less frequent, the flu may also spread through indirect contact with contaminated hands and articles soiled with nose and throat secretions. To prevent the spread of germs: • Wash hands often with soap and water. • Cover mouth/nose during coughs and sneezes. If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your upper sleeve, not your hands. • Limit contact with people who show signs of illness. • Keep hands away from the face. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth. When should my child stay home from child care? A person may be contagious and able to spread the virus from 1 day before showing symptoms to up to 5 days after getting sick. The time frame could be longer in children and in people who don’t fight disease well (people with weakened immune systems). When sick, your child should stay at home to rest and to avoid giving the flu to other children and should not return to child care or other group setting until his or her temperature has been normal and has been sign and symptom free for a period of 24 hours. For additional helpful information about the dangers of the flu and how to protect your child, visit: http://www.cdc.gov/flu/ or http://www.immunizeflorida.org/ I nf l u e n z A V ir u s What is the influenza (flu) virus? Influenza (“the flu”) is caused by a virus which infects the nose, throat, and lungs. According to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the flu is more dangerous than the common cold for children. Unlike the common cold, the flu can cause severe illness and life threatening complications in many people. Children under 5 who have the flu commonly need medical care. Severe flu complications are most common in children younger than 2 years old. Flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. How can I tell if my child has a cold, or the flu? Most people with the flu feel tired and have fever, headache, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and sore muscles. Some people, especially children, may also have stomach problems and diarrhea. Because the flu and colds have similar symptoms, it can be difficult to tell the difference between them based on symptoms alone. In general, the flu is worse than the common cold, and symptoms such as fever, body aches, extreme tiredness, and dry cough are more common and intense. People with colds are more likely to have a runny or stuffy nose. Colds generally do not result in serious health problems, such as pneumonia, bacterial infections, or hospitalizations.

Durante la sesión legislativa del 2009, fue aprobada una nueva ley que requiere que los centros de cuidado infantil, hogares de familiares para el cuidado infantil diurno y hogares de familias grandes para el cuidado infantil les proporcionen a los padres la información detallando las causas, síntomas, y transmisión del virus de la influenza (la gripe) cada año durante Agosto y Septiembre. Mi firma más abajo verifica acuse de recibo del folleto sobre el Virus de la Influenza, La Gripe, Una Guía Para Los Padres: Nombre:_ _____________________________ Nombre del Niño:_____________________ Fecha de Recibo:______________________ Firma:_________________________________ ¿Qué debo hacer si mi hijo se enferma? Consulte con su médico y asegúrese de que su hijo obtenga suficiente descanso y que beba muchos líquidos. No le dé nunca aspirina, o medicinas que contengan aspirina, a niños o adolescentes que puedan tener la gripe. ¿Qué puedo hacer para prevenir la transmisión de gérmenes? • T iene una fiebre alta o una fiebre que dure un largo tiempo • Tiene problemas para respirar o respira rápido • Tiene la piel que luce azul • No está bebiendo lo suficiente • Parece estar confundido, no se despierta, no quiere ser tenido en brazos, o tiene convulsiones (se sacude sin control) • Se mejora, pero luego se pone peor otra vez • Padece de otras condiciones (como enfermedades del corazón o de los pulmones, diabetes) que se ponen peor La manera principal en que se propaga la gripe es en las gotitas respiratorias que se producen al toser o estornudar. Esto puede suceder cuando las gotitas de la tos o un estornudo de una persona infectada son propulsadas a través del aire e infectan a alguien cercano. Aunque es mucho menos frecuente, la gripe también se puede transmitir a través de contacto indirecto con manos contaminadas y artículos ensuciados por las secreciones de la garganta y nariz. Para prevenir la transmisión de gérmenes: • Lávese las manos a menudo con agua y jabón. • Cúbrase la boca /nariz mientras tose o estornuda. Si Usted no tiene un pañuelo desechable, tosa o estornude en la parte superior de la manga, no en sus manos. • Limite el contacto con personas que muestren señales de enfermedad. • Mantenga sus manos alejadas de su rostro. Los gérmenes a menudo se transmiten cuando una persona toca algo que está contaminado con gérmenes y luego se toca sus ojos, nariz, o boca. ¿Cómo puedo proteger a mi hijo de la gripe? ¿Cuándo debe quedarse mi niño en casa de la guardería infantil? Llame o lleve a su hijo al médico inmediatamente si su hijo: Por favor complete y regrese esta porción del folleto a su proveedor de cuidado infantil, para que ellos lo puedan conservar en sus archivos. Una vacuna contra la gripe es la mejor manera de protegerlo contra la gripe. Como el virus de la gripe cambia año tras año, se recomienda la vacunación anual contra la gripe. El CDC (Centros de Control y Prevención de Enfermedades) recomienda que todas los niños desde la edad de 6 meses hasta su 19no. cumpleaños reciban la vacuna de la gripe cada otoño o invierno (los niños que reciban la vacuna por primera vez requieren dos dosis). Usted también puede proteger a su niño recibiendo Usted mismo la vacuna de la gripe. Una persona puede ser contagiosa y capaz de transmitir el virus desde 1 día antes de mostrar síntomas hasta 5 días después de enfermarse. El período de tiempo puede ser mayor en niños o personas que no combaten bien las enfermedades (personas con sistemas inmunes débiles). Cuando esté enfermo, su hijo debe quedarse en casa para descansar y evitar transmitirle la gripe a otros niños y no debe regresar a la guardería infantil o a otro ambiente de grupo hasta que la temperatura de él o ella haya estado normal y haya estado libre de síntomas y signos por un período de 24 horas.

La influenza (“la gripe”) es causada por un virus que infecta la nariz, la garganta, y los pulmones. De acuerdo al Centro de Control y Prevención de Enfermedades de los Estados Unidos (CDC), la gripe es más peligrosa para los niños que el resfrío común. Distinto al resfrío común, la gripe puede causar enfermedad severa y complicaciones que ponen en riesgo la vida a muchas personas. Los niños menores de 5 años de edad que tienen la gripe suelen necesitar atenciones médicas. Las complicaciones severas de la gripe son más comunes en niños menores de 2 años de edad. La temporada de la gripe puede iniciar tan temprano como el mes de Octubre y durar hasta tan tarde como Mayo. ¿Cómo puedo saber si mi hijo tiene un resfrío, o si tiene la gripe? La mayoría de las personas con la gripe se sienten cansadas y tienen fiebre, dolor de cabeza, tos seca, dolor de garganta, nariz congestionada o nariz con secreciones, y músculos adoloridos. Algunas personas, en especial niños, pueden también tener problemas estomacales y diarrea. Como la gripe y el resfrío común tienen síntomas similares, puede ser difícil diferenciarlos en base a sólo los síntomas. En general, la gripe es peor que el resfriado común, y los síntomas tales como la fiebre, los dolores corporales, la fatiga extrema, y la tos seca son más comunes e intensos. Las personas con resfríos más comúnmente tienen secreciones nasales o congestión nasal. Los resfríos generalmente no resultan en problemas de salud serios, tales como neumonía, infecciones bacterianas, u hospitalizaciones.
