A number of health and safety protocols that support the health and wellness of students, staff, and families have been implemented in a responsive and developmentally appropriate manner.  The administrative staff reviewed all aspects of our on-site procedures and created detailed revisions to the school routines and procedures that are aligned with CDC, DOHMH, DOE and best early childhood practices.
 

We are utilizing google classroom to share lessons, activities, and interactions between the educational and support staff with families who may be at home due to vacations, holidays or illness.  We are also using google classroom to share information, lessons, activities, and photos with families on a daily basis.  
 

We continue to communicate with families about the child's growth and development through weekly communication, monthly newsletters, and family activities.  We provide workshops to families via a remote platform and share videos and virtual conferences with families to help prepare the students for a smooth adjustment to the new classroom or school setting.

Here are some of the new changes:

• drop-off arrival routines take place in our lobby (not in the classroom)

• increased cleaning procedures of all common areas

• increased washing and cleaning of all class and outdoor play materials between students' usage

• individual caddies of class and art materials per child,

• individualized served portions of breakfast, lunch, and snack (no longer serving family style)

• consistent pods of students and staff (no substitutes floaters or co mingling of classroom for shared activities).

• use of school vs street shoes (changing and cleaning the students' and staff's shoes each day upon arrival)

• daily washing of class materials in on-site washer and dryer

• daily health checks of students and staff

• and more
