Practice and reinforce good hygiene habits with your family. Wash your hands often for 20 seconds (sing Happy Birthday twice) with warm, soapy water, but especially after going to the bathroom, before and after eating, and after blowing your nose, sneezing, or coughing. Use Hand Sanitizer with 60% alcohol as a substitute for soap and water when needed. Keep your child home if they are sick with any illness. Contact your doctor to discuss your child’s symptoms. Communicate any absences to the preschool office and your child’s teacher. Be prepared with a backup plan for childcare in the event that our school must close your child’s classroom or the entire preschool due to positive COVID-19 exposure. Talk to your employer or make alternate childcare arrangements ahead of time. Stay informed. This health emergency situation is one that changes rapidly.

Carpool is available for students in 2s classes and older. Carpool is mandatory for Kindergarten and Kindergarten Readiness classes. The Walk-In doors will be open and monitored during Carpool time, for any family in the 1s classes (our 1s classes start carpool in January) or for any family who prefers to walk their child into school.
