The staff check the children’s temparature. Before entering the daycare, the children sanitize their hands and put their own belongings away in their assigned cubbies. When they enter the room they wash their hands.
If a child feels sick at the center

The child will be taken to the waiting room and the staff will wait with the child until the parents arriveÂ

The parents will be called immediately to pick-up the child (within an hour)

Once the child has been picked up, the staff must follow the cleaning and sanitizing protocols to clean the entire room.
