We try hard to not spread illness to your families. We have an illness policy in place to helps us protect your family. During this time of illness, please follow the illness policy and cancel appointments if anyone in your home is sick.
Our staff works with many babies and toddlers who get sick very easily. Because of this
fact, it is very important for everyone to remember to cancel home or center visits if
ANYONE in your family is sick.
Please call to reschedule if any of the following symptoms are present:
- fever of 101 degrees or more
- stomach/flu-like symptoms such as throwing up or diarrhea
- very sleepy or tired; fussier than usual
- a sore throat
- bad cold
- coughing
- red eyes with discharge
- thick green mucus from the nose
- skin rash
- oozing fluid or pus
- head or body lice; pinworm or scabies
- mouth sores
If anyone in your family is showing any of the signs listed above or isn’t feeling well, call
to cancel the visit by 9:00 AM.
Please help us keep everyone healthy.

The state legislature will start looking at the Governor's Budget Proposal in the next week.

- If you are unable to attend any of these events, please write a couple of paragraphs about how the Early Intervention Program has helped you and your child (include a picture if you would like) and send them to me so I can get these stories in the hands of the legislators. (mzeschke@dsdmail.net)
I was able to meet with Representative Stephen Handy last week and explain what our program does and what we are requesting in the budget. He was very receptive to the information I shared with him and will advocate for us in any way he can. The more Senators and Representatives we are able to reach the better our chances are to be included in the budget. Remember, we are only asking for enough funds to maintain our programs - not to increase our current budgets.
With the current instability in our economic future, this will be a very difficult year to have our funding request included in the budget. Please help us get the word out that the Baby Watch Early Intervention Program is vital in helping families and children with delays and disabilities.
