First Day of School – Tuesday September 8th, 2020
We are so happy to announce that we have been cleared by Larimer County Health and Environment and our state Licensing Specialist from the Colorado Office of Early Childhood to open our doors again in September and welcome back all of our wonderful families! Our teachers and board of parent volunteers have been working hard to put new procedures in place to ensure the safety of our students and staff. While a few different procedures need to be followed, we remain committed and most concerned with providing our young students with the nurturing and stimulating environment that is so important for their first adventure in education. These are temporary changes, and we plan on returning to our regular schedule when possible.
Drop Off – Parents will meet their child’s teacher outside the playground gate. Children will need a temperature check (100.3 degrees or lower). Each class will meet separately outside.
Snack Time – For now, we will need parent helpers to bring individually wrapped snacks when they parent help.
Classrooms – We will need to limit table activities to 4 children per table. Additional sanitizing of surfaces and items will take place during class. Our teachers will help keep large groups of children from gathering in one area.
Pick Up – Children will walk outside with their teacher to their parents.
Parent Helpers – We would like to have the same helpers aid on consecutive days as much as possible to limit exposure. We realize this may not work for all families, and we are happy to help work out alternate days. Before entering the preschool, parent helpers will also need their temperatures taken. While in the preschool, please social distance from other adults.
Masks – Following the guidelines of the Colorado Office of Early Childhood; students, parent helpers and teachers will all need to wear masks. We know this may be difficult, especially if your child hasn’t been wearing one. To help them prepare, please start slowly having them wear a mask and build over time.
Hand Washing – Children will wash their hands after coming inside, before snack and after using the restroom as usual, but will include more frequent and longer hand washing.
Isolation – If a child becomes ill, we will isolate that child in the hallway and notify the parent immediately.
We are grateful for your patience and understanding while we developed these new procedures. We will continue to work closely throughout the year with our licensing specialist and the Health Department to make alterations as conditions change. Please, do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. We have missed our fabulous Community Preschool families and can’t wait to see you!
