We have implemented enhanced procedures to limit the spread of COVID-19 and are frequently communicating with families and staff to convey the enhanced measures in place within their school.
Existing Health and Safety Practices
We continue to follow our existing stringent health and safety protocols, including:
- Requiring any children or staff with respiratory illness symptoms or fever to return home and stay home until fever free for at least 24 hours
- Frequent disinfecting and sanitizing of high-touch toys and surfaces
- Frequent hand washing by children and staff, which is embedded in our curriculum and daily staff protocols
- Training teachers on common signs of illness in children, and placing signage in every classroom to keep signs of illness top of mind
- Continuous health & safety training for staff, including first aid and CPR certification
Enhanced Health and Safety Practices
Depending on the circumstances and guidance by local and state officials, enhanced procedures above normal health and safety protocols may include:
- Limiting the people who enter the building to current team members and enrolled families only
- Minimizing combining children from different classrooms
- Temperature checks and logs for children and staff
- Increased frequency of hand washing
- Increased sanitation of frequently touched surfaces and toys
