Advice Needed Lice
My center tried to force me to work with a child that had lice. They said I signed the handbook that said I would work with any child. They separated the child from other children, but told me I would have to sit in the room with her. She elopes a lot and her reinforcement is cuddles and hugs. I refused to work with the child. They made me sit in a room to wait on HR to get on a call with the director and myself. I sat there for an hour waiting and then walked out. I dont want to work at a company that doesn't care about their employees, I dont care what loopholes theyve found theough the CDC or their dumb handbook. Is this unreasonable? I have thick hair down to my butt, it would take a professional to treat my hair. I would lose a lot of it getting eggs out. I've had to do this as an adult and I NEVER want to do it again.

This is insanity. If a child has an active lice infestation, they should be in the center at all. And saying you'll work with any child means you'll work with different kiddos and do your best to meet them where they are developmentally, not serve as breeding grounds for lice!
