COVID-19 Safety Guidelines: First and foremost, we hope that you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. We know this pandemic has been stressful to many and we recognize that socializing and interacting with peers can be a healthy way for children to cope with stress and connect with others. We are hosting our PACC programs while following CDC guidelines to protect our participants, families, and our community.

The health and safety of our participants and staff remain our highest priority. Below, you will find a summary of the actions we are taking to help ensure we are lowering COVID-19 risk as much as possible.

Keeping participants in small groups of less according to the room size.

Limiting the number of items that are shared or touched between participants and staff.

Providing participants with hand sanitizer upon entering PACC and we will have sanitizing stations throughout PACC. We are moving to mask optional policy where students will be given the option to wear a mask.

PACC will be providing masks for anyone who walks into PACC. For drop off of child(ren): Parents will not be allowed to enter the center. Students must be dropped off at the door. The only exception is if a payment must be made.

COVID-19 Safety Guidelines: For pick up of child(ren): When a parent gets to the PACC parking lot please send a text to the appropriate WhatsApp group and we will bring your child to your car.

If a participant does get sick at PACC, we have identified an area where they can rest, be watched after, and safely isolate themselves from others. Any child who is sick will be sent home. We will communicate with parents or caretakers directly.

If any participant is feeling any Covid-19 symptoms, we ask that you stay home and get tested.

Once you are tested, please inform our office administration of your results.

If any participant is positive, we request that the participant does not come to the center for 10 days from the first day of exhibiting symptoms. After 10 days, the participant is welcome back.

In the event of a participant missing classes due to testing positive with Covid-19, we can provide a virtual option when appropriate. If not possible, then we will arrange for classes to be made up during our make-up week or through other classes that are available.
