COVID Response at Little Beginnings

Did you know that Child Care Centers are typically a very safe place to send your child, even amongst a virus pandemic? We already cleaned every day, actively taught the children to wash their hands, and focused on safety measures throughout the center. Now, we simply have put a bigger focus on those basic measures.

Here at Little Beginnings, we’ve taken the safety of children, staff, and families into an even greater consideration with COVID around.

We currently:

• Keep children in cohorts to maintain a smaller circle
• Keep staff in cohorts as much as possible
• Require masks for any adults entering the center
• Have hand sanitizer at the entrance to the facility
• Offer and encourage remote child check and out from your vehicle to reduce time among others
• Require staff to wear masks during drop off and pick up times and when they are outside of their classroom
• Clean the center daily, focusing on high touch areas even more so

Our COVID-Preparedness Plan is in place. This document helps outline what we do to stay safe and how we can help keep others clean and safe as well.

On top of all of that, we work closely with our Public Health Nurse. She is able to stay current on guidelines and recommendations from the state, ensuring that we have the latest and correct information each day.
