COVID 19 Polices and Procedures

We know this can be a scary time for you and your family. We want to assure you we are doing everything we can to keep your child safe and healthy during this unprecedented time. 

Curb side drop off and pick up:
Parents/visitors are not allowed into the center at this time. Staff will meet you in the parking lot for drop off and bring your child to you at pick up.

Health screenings:
Staff and children are required to have a daily health screening which includes a temperature check. No staff or child will be admitted to the building with illness or symptoms of illness.

Return to Learn: We will follow return to learn illness guidance as set forth by state and local health. 

Distancing:
Staff will maintain distance of 6 feet whenever possible. Children will be spaced apart as much as possible for eating, sleeping and play. Outside time and play will be encouraged. 

Handwashing:
Staff and children will wash hands throughout the day. It will be built into the daily routines. 

​Email and Brightwheel Updates:
Parents will be notified of any changes in policies, state orders or guidelines immediately via email and Brightwheel. We will keep parents updated on this ever evolving situation.

Masks:
All center staff will wear masks in the building and when in close contact with children. 

​

Cleaning and sanitizing:
Frequently touched surfaces will be clean every hour.

All items coming into the center will be sanitized. 

Toys and supplies will be sanitized after use. Children will be given their own set of materials when possible. 

The center is professionally cleaned and sanitized every night.

High temperatures will be used to wash and dry bedding, materials and dishes.

Communication:
Staff and parents can communicate through our Brightwheel app on daily basis. Parents are also welcome to call and chat with staff anytime. Staff are working hard to update children’s profiles and feeds in real time.

Limiting contacts:
We will limit the number of contacts your child has daily by keeping groups of kids and teachers together and limiting the moving around of staff. Staff will be assigned to a group of children.
Children will be kept in their group for the entire day. 
Center hours are reduced to allow staff to remain with their group for the day. 


​

We talk weekly with Larimer Health and Colorado Licensing to review and changes in guidelines and ask questions. 
​

We have monthly meetings with our health consultant and can consult them anytime with questions or concerns.
