Steps we are taking to Prevent Covid-19 in our Center
What were Doing to Keep your Child Safe
Upon entry to the preschool, children have their temperatures checked before they can come in. Parents call to let the center know their arrival so we can meet them at the gate for the check. Parents will fill out a COVID-19 questionnaire regarding exposures and possible symptoms as well as note what time they drop off. Each family has their own clipboard and pen to avoid cross contamination.
The children wash their hands as soon as they enter the classroom. They wash their hands frequently throughout the day - before and after activities, eating, outdoors, and whenever a possible hand to mouth occurrence may happen. We have developed educational curriculum such as songs, literacy, and discussions to assist children with developing healthy life habits to stay safe.
Toys, equipment, and materials are sanitized after each child's use and in between usage to ensure each child is playing with clean materials. Children also have a variety of toys that are just for their own personal use to prevent the sharing of germs. Social distancing is encouraged and promoted during group time activities such as concept circle and while eating. While napping children are placed head to foot and are social distanced from each other.
We teach in small group sizes and have sectioned off the classroom to have a rotation system. This allows children to have the opportunity to play in every part of the classroom for the sanitation required for safety.
