New Procedures
Children will receive Covid screenings each day, including a temperature check at arrival, before entering the building. Temperatures over 100.0 are not permitted into care. Hands are immediately washed after entering.
Masks
Although children do not need to wear masks while in care, staff will be masked all day. We ask parents to arrive masked as well.
Sanitizing
High contact surfaces will be sanitized through out the day. Each classroom has a sanitation log that is available upon request.
Open Air
Classes will spend as much time outdoors as possible. With 15 Acres, play yard, hiking trails and outdoor classroom space, we have a unique advantage.
Limiting Families
There will be time during drop off and pick up to speak to instructors outside. However, we are asking parents to remain outside. Tours are given during non buisness hours.
Social Distance
We will try our best to maintain social distance between children. We ask that parents socially distance during drop-off and pick-up. Only 1 family on the porch at a time please.
Hand Washing
Hand washing has always been a big part of daycare. Now it is more important than ever. Each classroom has 2 sinks. Children will wash their hands with antibacterial soap at intervals through out the day.
