Coronavirus - We are continuing to receive guidance from the Virginia Department of Health. At this time, we are continuing to focus on prevention of All Viruses because the coronavirus can cause symptoms similar to the common cold, such as fever, cough, sore throat, and feeling unwell. The symptoms that are currently being seen with the current coronavirus infection are fever and respiratory symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath. We will recommend the same practices that help to prevent the spread of those common illnesses:
Washing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds - encourage children to sing the “Happy Birthday” song twice.
Parents are encouraged to use the Hand Sanitizers placed around the Center when entering and exiting.
Avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth as much as possible - teach children to use their sleeves or tissues if they need to touch their faces.
Avoiding close contact with people who are sick.
Staying home when feeling sick.
Covering coughs and sneezes with elbow or tissue, then throw the tissue in a trash.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces.
We are ensuring that all bathrooms are stocked with soap and tissue boxes/hand sanitizer are readily available. Additionally, all Staff are advised to stay at home if they feel unwell.
At this time, we will only require children to remain at home if they have a Fever over 100 (orally), Diarrhea and/or Vomiting, Rash WITH additional symptoms, Profuse discharge from Eyes, Ears, or Nose, Open/Wet Sores.
March Monthly Activity Calendars and Lunch Menu are now posted online.
