Children's Department:

  • Workers and children will have their temperatures​ checked before entering the pre-K room. A fever of anything higher than 100 degrees Fahrenheit will be asked to go home.

  • Workers and children will wash their hands upon entering the room. Workers will wash their hands after any contact with a child.

  • Only a small amount of toys are in the room to prevent cross contamination. Toys are sanitized after each class.
