Is it mandatory to provide doctor's letter or certification of fitness for the child to return to school after recovering from an illness?
Health & Hygiene in Preschools
Children who have recovered from an illness (i.e. show no more symptoms of illness), are not required to produce a doctor's letter or certificate to return to the preschool after the expiry of their medical certificate. However, if there are doubts over your child's condition, the preschool may ask parents to bring the child to a medical practitioner for further assessment before the child can return to the school.
However, if the child is still displaying symptoms of illness, the preschool may request for the child to be brought to a medical practitioner for further assessment.
