COVID protocols in place. Staff are currently required to wear a mask and face shield while inside the day home, but are not required outside when physical distancing can be maintained. Children under 2 should not wear masks as per guidelines. Children 2 to school age have no recommendation in a day home, therefore we do not require masks. School aged children (kindergarten to grade 3) are encouraged to wear masks. Parents/caregiver must wear a mask if they are entering the dayhome. We encourage porch drop off/ pick up when possible.
Daily cleaning of toys.
High touch surfaces (tables, doorknobs, taps, etc) are always wiped throughout the day.
Daily monitoring of symptoms for household and all children in care.

COVID protocols may change as more information of safe practices becomes available and as a vaccine (hopefully) begins roll-out.
