New to this preschool thing, is it okay to send him?
DS has his first day of preschool tomorrow---he caught a cold a week ago (Sunday)--no fever/cough but still has a bit of a residual runny nose. Do you think it's okay to send him? Thanks--I am totally new to this!

Totally fine. He'd never go if you kept him home for every runny nose and/or cough. It's so hard to keep them 100% once school starts.

I think its fine. My DD got a cold Wed, and she has a slight bit of congestion left, and I'm sending her Tues.

I think it depends on the preschool - ours has a no runny nose policy - it does keep the kids home but they almost never get sick from school. I think if he has had a cold for a week he should be okay - but does your preschool have any rules on that?

This is AMAZING  SOunds like my dream school. Wish it were closer to me!
What happens to kids though that always have runny noses? Seriously, there are some kids I know that ALWAYS have a runny nose- and im nottalking about clear!

I was told by one school any runny nose, you will get a call. Anything other then clear isn't that contagious?

No. According to my DD's allergist, yellow and green are also from old mucus- like in the morning when it's been sitting overnight in the nasal passages.
Our preschool has a no fever/vomiting rulde for 24 hours prior. I cannot imagine how many days my DD would miss for a run of the mill runny nose.

It was mainly b.c of the swine flu - but if they have had a cold for a few days and the ped says they are clear to return the school will have them back - actually most of the children missed very little school this past year.
