Staying Safe
Our program has been modified to meet all New York State Department of Health COVID health and safety regulations. All participants will be screened upon arrival to make sure we are all safe and well. Young children under the age of two do not need to use face coverings. Children over the age of two are encouraged to wear face coverings as feasible. All staff and any adult visiting the program are required to wear a face covering/mask at all times. We have a plan in place in the event someone shows symptoms. This virus can affect anyone and it is our commitment to take the necessary measures to keep your family and our staff safe.
In addition to supporting all New York State health regulations, we have modified our daily schedule to spend as much time outdoors, weather permitting, providing the children with the opportunity to have more space, fresh air and free movement.
We have created a calm, safe and clean indoor environment for the children. All rooms have air purifiers and we have implemented cleaning and sanitizing procedures daily and weekly to help keep surfaces, toys, equipment, and activity materials clean. We use non-toxic plant-based cleaning supplies.
We are conscious of how important it is to support a healthy immune system through the foods we eat. We provide well-planned menus for breakfast, lunch and snack made up of foods inspired by the seasons that will help us keep warm and healthy.
As teachers and staff we work hard to stay healthy both physically and mentally at all times but particularly during this time. This is a commitment we take by heart and invite all to do so.
