Children's Services

WellWatchers is a childcare program that provides you with peace of mind when your child is too sick to attend school or daycare or is recovering from minor surgery.

You can make a reservation for your child up to a day ahead of time. You will be asked to complete basic enrollment forms and bring your child's immunization records on your child's first day. In our sick-child center, your child will be able to participate in activities as their condition permits.

Medical conditions accepted for care:

• Fever controlled with medication: 102°F maximum orally, or 101°F maximum axillary
• Vomiting fewer than three times in any 8-hour period without signs of dehydration
• Diarrhea fewer than five times in any 8-hour period without signs of dehydration
• Sprains or broken bones that have been cast
• Recuperation from surgery
• Asthma / allergies only if able to tolerate general activity
• Colds and minor flu symptoms.

Children seen by a physician and placed on antibiotics should have the first dose administered by a parent prior to arriving at WellWatchers. If your child has been with us for three consecutive days, s/he must see a physician before returning to WellWatchers.

WellWatchers is staffed by The Learning Place, Thomasville Medical Center's 5-star, child-development center.
