Update: We remain open and are following the same health guidelines as mentioned below. All persons are required to wear masks when dropping off & picking up children.
OUR HOURS OF OPERATION HAVE CHANGED
DURING COVID TO 6:30 A.M.-5:30 P.M.
*We have added an air filtration system in all of our classrooms. This kills viruses in the air including COVID-19. Find out more about it on our ISO-Aire page.
With the severity of COVID-19 things seem to be changing on a daily basis. We will continue to keep you updated on our plans here on our website and our Facebook Page.
To limit the exposure as much as possible in an attempt to reduce the spread of the virus, we are asking parents not to spend more than 10 minutes in the building when dropping off and picking up your children. Parents must take their children’s temperature using our temperature scanner upon arrival each day. Please note: we will not be able to allow children to arrive after 10:00 a.m. so please plan accordingly.
AN IMPORTANT REMINDER TO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD(REN) IF THEY ARE SICK.
We are following the MN Department of Health cleaning and sanitation guidelines and implementing other safety measures with guidance from our health nurse. We frequently and thoroughly clean and sanitize all items and rooms, especially high touch areas (doorknobs, light switches, counters, tables, and chairs, shared toys, and equipment) using the recommended COVID-19 bleach solution.
IF YOU, YOUR CHILD, OR ANYONE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO COVID-19, OR IS BEING TESTED, BE SURE TO NOTIFY OUR OFFICE.
During this difficult time we need to try our best to keep things as normal as we can for children and help them to feel safe. Resources to help with that will continue to be added to this page.
