In addition to our COVID Procedures we have enhanced our Hand Washing Procedures throughout the day and Sanitation Protocols to clean and disinfect our center with safe non-toxic cleaning products recommended by the CDC.  

​

Our enhanced protocols include:

​

• Routinely cleaning and disinfecting common areas and surfaces/objects that are frequently touched such as:

  • Doorknobs, Door Handles, Handrails and Push Plates

  • Light switches

  • Classroom sink handles

  • Classroom desks and chairs;

• All open bathrooms will be cleaned hourly and between groups;

• All floors will be swept and mopped and disinfected daily.

• Teachers and Teacher Assistants will sanitize toys and highly touched surfaces during nap time.

• Toys are sanitize after children stop playing with them and let them dry before letting them play again.

• We have  a “dirty/used toy bin” to place toys that must be sanitized and disinfected at the end of the day.

• Bleach and water solutions need to be prepared daily.  In the morning, the designated staff at each center prepares the solution as per licensing guidelines and at the end of the day, the last staff person discards the solution. Bleach bottles and all clean supplies are safely out of reach of the children at all times. 

  

Additionally,

​

• Children wash their hands throughout the day by singing songs. 

​

• Staff consistently teaches lessons about health and hygiene.

​

• Diapering is conducted in an area separate from children's play areas.
