COVID UPDATES...
As COVID numbers increase, please remember to take precautions to limit your exposure as you move about in the community and avoid large group settings.
If anyone in your family test positive your child(ren) will need to be in quarantine. The CDC has stated quarantine period starts for the COVID negative individual when the COVID positive individual ends their quarantine. The local health department will determine your child(ren) date of return. Please communicate an positive cases with Jody.

Thank you for continuing to follow the drop off and pick up protocols. Families are doing a great job social distancing and wearing mask in the lobby.
  • A mask MUST be worn inside the center.
  • Remain in the lobby area – not allowed down the hallways/in the classrooms
  • Drinking fountains remain closed
  • Be mindful of social distancing
  • Room 1 & 2 will continue with regular drop off/pick up at the classroom door.
Drop Off and Pick Up:
  • DCFS is still requiring that all adults and children over the age of 2 wear a mask inside of our building. We are requesting all adults to wear a mask at drop off and pick up as well; no matter vaccination status. Please remember that the majority of our population are not eligible for the vaccine and safety is our priority.
  • If you are not feeling well or hold any COVID symptoms please arrange for someone else to drop of and pick up your child. This is to protect your family and the staff.
