WHAT THE YMCA IS DOING TO KEEP YOUR CHILD SAFE
Please remember to be patient
Hand Washing
Child hand washing upon arrival is mandatory. Hands will be washed frequently with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds, especially before, during and after food prep or eating.
Wellness Assessments
Wellness assessments will be performed on every child to identify symptoms of COVID-19.
Cleaning Frequently
We are cleaning frequently touched surfaces and objects like door knobs with EPA approved disinfectants on a regular basis.
Avoid Touching
Children should avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.
Children with Symptoms
Any child who shows symptoms of COVID-19 will not be able to attend the program or will be sent home upon showing these symptoms.
Lower Ratios/Maximum Group Sizes and Social Distancing
We are following new, lower state required staff:child ratios and maximum group sizes: 1:4/2:6 Infants, 1:6 Toddlers, 1:9 Preschoolers and School-agers
In addition, staff are teaching and practicing social distancing with children.
