COVID SAFETY POLICES AND PROCEDURES
· Masks: Kiddos will follow all CDC safety guidelines for social distancing within pods, face coverings, cleaning and handwashing.
· Symptom Checking/Rules: Those with symptoms will be sent home using CDC most recent best practice. Symptoms such as unusual lethargy, cough, loss of smell etc. will be monitored throughout the day. Having a cough will prevent your kiddo from joining us until it is remedied as it masks a symptom of COVID even if its likely just allergies. If your kiddo has fall allergies get ahead of it a few weeks before and even, consider consulting doctor even if you do not typically.
· Social Distancing: They can only take off their masks while eating or drinking or outside for camp. While wearing masks kids will get to interact with each other in activities including being able to play a board games, do crafts, try science experiments, improv, sports etc. If parent requests their kiddo wear mask all day we will enforce.
· Limited Entry: Parents will not be allowed entry
· COVID-19 Risk: Parents understand all the risk associated with COVID-19 and are making an informed decision to sign their kiddo up for the camp with the mentioned policies in place. Parents understand with all precautions taken there is still possibility of a child to contract COVID-19 and be asymptomatic or symptomatic.
· Anxiety: Aside from physical safety our 2nd priority is emotional safety for our parents, teachers and students. Our goal is to make this year NORMAL and even more fun! Masks, excessive handwashing will become second nature and routine. The less you have the news on in front of your kiddo, the less likely they are to spread their interpretation to other students. We will by no means ban COVID talk but limit conversations, and only use enough facts needed to keep your kiddo following and understanding safety procedures. If a child wants to talk about it, especially if they need to vent, we will handle case by case with care. YOUR KIDDO WILL HAVE FUN, HELP US PROTECT THEM FROM ADULT WORRIES.
COVID-19 related child absence: If your child is off due to them or someone in their pod testing COVID positive parents WILL NOT be responsible for tuition for the 7-10 days or CDC recommended length of time depending on circumstances.
If we must close Kiddos due to COVID parents only pay $25/day: This is to help ensure we can stay a float by continuing to pay teachers and overhead expenses during a crazy time. Remaining balance would be refunded back to the card on file, by the end of the week. If you are in a financial situation where this causes undue hardship please do not hesitate to request we refund the full amount.
For rapid test we recommend: starting with your pediatrician to see if they can offer or suggest rapid testing. Here are a couple other places you can look for appointments (Peachtree Med & Atlanta Urgent Care ) and a couple that are further away but you can just drive up to without appointment and have results with 15 minutes while you wait ( A+ Urgent in Austell & Marietta)
· NON COVID-19 related child absence: If your child is off due to them being sick, we are no able to offer prorated tuition.
·
Other Notes: Kiddos will wipe down high touch areas, no parents or other adults are allowed inside while Kiddos is there. Kids will wash hands frequently; we will discourage touching of faces and keep supplies cleaned etc
