COVID-19 Information

A good hand washing can lower the risk of catching an illness by 80%. Our staff will be showing students how to properly wash by singing a jingle. Teachers will continue to wash their hands as well as the children's hands. However, we will be washing before and after the follwing: outside to inside transition, entering/ exiting a classroom, food prep, diaper changing, handling bodily fluids, cleaning, etc.

Families will be met at the front door where our administration will conduct a quick health screening to ensure your child does not have a fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or other flu-like symptoms. A designated teacher will take your child to and from the classroom. For pick-up, a teacher will bring your child to the door.

Our teachers will implement an even more rigorous 5 step cleaning routine, and all high-touch surfaces and objects will be sanitized regularly throughout the day. These include, but are not limited to, all learning materials, playground structures, light switches and doors, etc.

Teachers will continue to wear gloves while helping children with snack time and lunch. We will discontinue family-style servings at snack time. The teachers will serve children individually. 

We have provided our staff with guidance and the best practices about wearing face coverings. Along with the CDC guidance, we will be following local health and state guidelines to ensure they’re compliant with health and safety orders. For example, it’s mandatory for our employees to be provided face coverings, which must be worn at all times while on-site. 

We will practice social distancing in the classroom throughout the day such as; 2 children per table, nap and work mats placed 6 ft apart, spots for line up to go in and outside, etc. Your children will remain in the classroom or on the playground with their teachers and classmates. For added safety, different classes will not interact with one another, and all special events and visitors will be postponed until further notice.
