- For Preschool, we are planning to move forward with our 2020-2021 school year as planned. Our start date remains September 8th.
- We reduced our summer camp ratio from 1:10 to 1:8. Preschool ratios will remain unchanged.
- We upgraded our air filtration in our HVAC systems.
- We will sanitize any common areas and items frequently during the day.
- We will restrict entry into the building during drop off and pick up times. We will receive and dismiss children in front of the building. Details will be provided to parents prior preschool starting
- We will check temperatures of staff and children upon arrival
- We will teach and encourage proper hand washing and sanitizer use upon arrival, before and after eating, playing outside, after bathroom visits, and at other times during the day
- We will encourage the kids to respect other people's personal space, but social distancing will be difficult to enforce
- We will restrict interactions between classes in an effort to reduce the number of people each child is exposed to. This will mean that we won't have large group activities, including multi-class playground time, chapel, and movie time together, at least until the threat appears to have passed.
- Children are encouraged to bring their own water bottles, as we will not allow the kids to drink from the water fountains. We will provide cups of water as needed.
- We will be sanitizing common surfaces and objects frequently during the day
- We will limit, as much as possible, common shared objects
- To the extent possible, children will not share supplies (markers, scissors, crayons, glue sticks, etc)
- Where possible, we will remove items from the classroom that are difficult to sanitize
- Adults will be wearing masks, but the children will not be required to do so.
Children are ineligible to participate in preschool or summer camp if they:
- Show symptoms of COVID-19
- Live in a household with someone diagnosed with, showing symptoms of, awaiting testing results for COVID-19, or confirmed exposure to COVID-19
- Traveled to/from high-risk areas as defined by the CDC in the past 14 days.
Children who become ill while at preschool or summer camp will be isolated from the rest of the children and will need to be picked up immediately.
