La Crèche Early Childhood Centers, Inc.

2020 COVID – 19 Response Summary

Our community is relying on La Crèche Early Childhood Centers, Inc. to conduct business and to be there for our children, parents and families. Giving our children the care and early education without interruption is our top priority. As an essential business, we take our responsibility in our centers very seriously and keeping everyone safe is a critical piece of our main concern. Here are some of the steps we are taking:

Putting Safety First – What La Crèche is doing:

• We have implemented extra cleaning efforts throughout our centers with continuous cleaning and sanitizing of toys, bathrooms, hand contact surfaces, doors, and nap mats

• Installed plexiglass dividers in our entry way and in our office area

• Parent drop-off/pick-up allowed only in the narthex of both centers

• All staff and children will be tempered upon entering the building. Any staff/child with a temperature above 99.0 will be turned away

• Due to Governor Waltz Executive Order, both centers have temporarily reduced to 50% enrollment • Due to Governor Waltz Executive Order, both centers operate during temporary hours from 8:00-5:00 PM, Monday thru Friday • Both centers have temporarily discontinued family style breakfast, lunch and snack meals. All meals will be served in their respective classrooms • All staff must wear (company provided) gloves, masks, smocks, and additional protective gear during unavoidable social distancing circumstances (diapering, bathroom help, food service)

• Children and staff are on a scheduled hand-washing plan

• Following all government agency safety guidelines and recommendations

Putting everyone’s safety first – What you can do:

• If your child or anyone in your home is feeling ill, please keep your child home • If you or anyone in your home has any symptoms or has tested positive for COVID-19, please notify us immediately

• Continue to properly use the entrance/exit plan implemented for keeping our staff/children safe. Please do not enter the building beyond the entry area • Limit the number of family members entering the building to drop-off/pick-up your child • Please ensure that you are sanitizing all of your child’s belongings coming into our building and the items sent home with your child

At La Crèche Early Childhood Centers, Inc., we continue to focus on supporting the families we serve by delivering quality, reliable and professional care for children. We are extremely proud of and grateful for all our employees that continue to go the extra mile, every day, to ensure the safety and stability of our centers. We will continue playing our essential role during this crisis and look forward to better days ahead.
