Strep throat?

The son of my daycare provider came down with Strep on Thursday (5/19).  DD was suppose to go to daycare on Friday, but I kept her home (obviously).  If all other family members are healthy and her son has been on antibiotics since Thursday, would you feel comfortable sending your child there on the following Monday (5/23)? 

 I'm worried about how long the germs will stick around on toys and stuff.

That's plenty of time for antibiotics to kill the contagious factor. And I would hope your DCP sanitizes toys and common areas, especially after diagnosis of a communicable disease.

Yep, that's plenty of time. If he's been on antibiotics for at least 24 hours, you're good to go.
