  • Please ensure that your child is fever-free for at least 24 hours without the aid of fever-reducing medicine before returning to school.

Suspected or Confirmed Case

Should we have a confirmed case of COVID-19, we will follow the leading public health officials recommendations for exclusion periods. In the event that the school may be required to close, below are the key points you need to know:

  • You will be notified as quickly as possible, either by phone, e-mail, or through our parent communication app if our center is required to temporarily close. Please be sure that we have your current and preferred method of contact on file. Also, please be sure that we can reach you through your preferred method of contact at any time of the day.
  • The CDC has not released a required length of time for closure, as there have been no cases of a child getting COVID-19 in any child care center, nationwide.
  • If our center would be required to temporarily close, you would not be charged tuition during that period of time.

Childhood Illness Protocol

To protect your child, other children, and our teaching staff from illness, we will continue to enforce our established guidelines of excluding ill children and appreciate your support in upholding these important policies.
