Can my child still attend the preschool if he/she has head lice?

Question

Accepted Answer

Parents of children with infestation (i.e. at least 1 live, crawling louse) should be notified and informed to seek treatment for their child. If nymphs and adult lice are no longer found on the hair, children can return to centre after the first treatment of peduculicide, expiry of MC or certification of fitness from doctors.
