INDICATES RESIDENTS ONLY

Masks/Cloth Face Coverings. To stay consistent with the State of Connecticut ruling as well as the Office of Early Childhood’s Guidance, masks or cloth face coverings will be mandatory for both children and staff when: - They are inside the classroom/Parks and Recreation Facility - They are outside and less than six feet from another participant or staff member We know that mask-wearing may be new and possibly overwhelming for children. Our staff are committed to making this a positive experience and supporting the children to help them become comfortable wearing a mask. We will also provide as many safe and socially distanced opportunities as possible for children to take a break from mask-wearing. In our Fall session, we found that the children were very successful at wearing their masks; we are proud of their adaptability to this change!

Drop Off/Pick Up Outside.􀀁 In an effort to limit the amount of people inside the building, we will conduct drop off and pick up outside in the courtyard near the preschool wing. Temperature Screening and Wellness Questionnaire conducted daily at drop off. At drop-off each morning, staff will take the temperature of all participants, as well as conduct a short wellness questionnaire. This practice is consistent with guidance from the Office of Early Childhood, as well as our Town Health Department. Lots of FUN! 􀀁Each day the children will play, do art projects, sing songs, listen to stories, and have safe and socially distant fun with their friends!
