Our Response to COVID-19
The 3 year old students will be arriving and departing via the main door of the building. The 4 year old students will be arriving and departing via the back door of the building. Parents will not be entering the preschool and waiting with their child.
When children arrive their temperature will be taken, they will sanitize their hands and marked as present on the attendance sheet. If a child has a temperature that is out of range, they will not be permitted to enter the building. Temperatures are logged on the daily attendance sheet for tracking. Preschool staff will also check their temperature daily as well.
Bathroom breaks will be spaced out to allow time for proper cleaning. Students will be utilizing the Woman’s Restroom only during their sessions Classrooms, centers, toys, doorknobs, and all high touch surfaces will be cleaned after each class. We currently do not have a Friday afternoon class so we will take that time to completely sanitize the room and it’s contents before the weekend.
School supplies are per individual child this year and all of their supplies are contained in their own pouches that will be kept at the school. This will eliminate children sharing pencils, markers, glue, etc.
Children will not be permitted to come to preschool if they have of the following:
Fever or chills
Cough or shortness of breath
Headaches
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
Congestion or Runny nose
Body or muscle aches
Loss of taste or smell
Sore Throat
As we continue to follow the guidelines set by the State of Ohio and the Allen County Health Department, teachers will be wearing masks during student arrival, departures and any one on one instruction. During the times when they are practicing letter or word pronunciation, our teaching staff has clear face shields to wear to assist with teaching to enable the children to see their mouths when speaking.
Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any more questions or concerns.
