Parents!!! We are ready to open May 4th. We still have spaces open. If you would like your child to start please let us know ASAP so that we can have teachers ready. A few reminders: *Times: 7:00am-5:00pm, drop off is only until 9:00am. Children will not be allowed to come in after 9:00am. *Please bring in all snacks, lunch & drinks needed for the day in one bag/lunch box. * Only staff and children will enter the building. At drop off parents will stand on the front porch ( social distancing please😊) sign their children in and staff will take your child's temperature and record it. ( We do understand that not all carriers of Covid 19 have a temperature, or even have symptoms, but this is recommended by the CDC) Pick up: Please call 10 minutes prior to pick up & we will have your child ready on the porch, please come up & sign your child out. *Children will wash hands immediately upon entering their classrooms. *During this time we will do everything we can to make the center a safe place for the children and staff. Teachers will be ensuring proper hand washing is done often. Learning/play centers and toys will be limited and not shared until cleaned. We will talk with the children about social distancing and practice it daily ( but also understand this will not happen throughout our entire days) * If a child shows any signs of illness they will be sent home ( Please ensure we have correct emergency numbers if there have been changes) * Before you arrive at the center on Monday please talk with your child about how our day will look different. Teachers will wear masks, teachers will WANT to hug you so badly, but will not at this time😥 The classrooms will have limited toys out & we will eat in our classrooms. Children will possibly be in different rooms than usual and with a different teacher ( since we have limited staff returning and can have only 9 children in a room) We will do everything we can to keep everyone in the center safe, but we all must understand it is a risk we take coming back together.
