Cold Season

Does your child have a cold?

Did you know that children under two years can catch 8–10 colds a year? Older children have an average of four upper respiratory infections every year. It's totally normal — upper respiratory infections are some of the most common bugs kids pick up in child care and school!


  • A few good reminders:
  • Green or yellow snot doesn't mean your child is "more sick" or needs antibiotics
  • Handwashing + coughing into an elbow are still the best defenses
  • Kids with a simple cold usually don't need to be excluded from school or daycare
  • Fresh air and good ventilation help cut down on spread indoors



When in doubt, our team is always here to help you sort out a cold from something more!
