Question 1

Can a Daycare Turn Away a Child With Daily Medication Requirements?

Accepted Answer

No. The Americans With Disabilities Act states that daycare centers may not deny a child entry into the program or access to medication. There are some exceptions to this rule if the daycare center is a religious organization.

Question 2

Are Daycare Centers Required to Have Medical Personnel On Staff?

Accepted Answer

No. A daycare center does not have to hire a nurse or physician to provide on-site care protected by the ADA. If there is a situation in which a specific type of care cannot be conducted by non-medical personnel, the daycare center does not have to provide this service. Parents may wish to seek specialty daycare centers that have staff with medical backgrounds, though these types of centers are not common.
