COVID-19 Info
Summer Camp & Preschool:
Exposure to COVID-19 is an inherent risk in any public place where people are present. While we cannot guarantee your child will not get sick, we will do our best to ensure the health and safety of our staff, students, and families.
Grace Church Preschool will not require COVID-19 vaccines for staff or students. While many of our staff members are vaccinated, please note that we will not divulge the vaccination status of your child’s teacher, nor will we guarantee that the staff members who interact with your child are vaccinated.
In order to create and maintain a safe and healthy environment, we will:
• Teach and encourage proper handwashing and sanitizer use upon arrival, before and after eating, playing outside, after bathroom visits, and at other times during the day
• Encourage the kids to respect other people's personal space, but social distancing will not be possible
• Encourage students to bring their own water bottles, as we will not allow the kids to drink from the water fountains. We will provide cups for water if needed
• Sanitize common surfaces and objects frequently during the day
• Masks will be optional for staff and. We will support a parent’s choice to have their child wear a mask at school.
Children should not attend school if they:
• According to guidance from the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (https://covid19.ncdhhs.gov/media/220/open) revised July 6, 2022, children are no longer recommended to be excluded from school because of an exposure to COVID-19. Likewise, as of August 11, 2022, the CDC no longer recommends quarantine when exposed. Therefore, we will no longer quarantine classes due to an exposure.
• Any child who has a confirmed case of COVID-19 should stay home while sick. They may return to school 5 days after a positive test or from the first day of symptoms, provided symptoms are improving and the child has been fever-free for 24 hours without medication. If there is a repeat test and the second test is negative, the first test will be presumed to be a false positive
• Guidance from NCDHHS and CDC recommend isolation for a confirmed case of COVID-19 followed by wearing a mask for an additional 5 days. We leave the mask to the discretion of the parent, as Grace Church Preschool will not require any child to wear a mask.
• Children who become ill while at school will be isolated from the rest of the children and will need to be picked up immediately.
