Be Covid Informed
Covid positive !!! These words alone have taken on a brand new meaning in the lives of our children over the past few months. What does it mean to you? What does it mean to those around you..family, neighbors, those you come into contact with in your community? The bigger question is… What is my childcare provider doing to keep my child and my family for that matter, safe during this “Pandemic”?
Of course this will vary from Provider to Provider but there are a few things you should look for:
- Ask for there cleaning schedule
This will give you an idea of how they are approaching this sanitation opportunity
- Ask for the CDC guide lines for their area (State) and compare that they are doing in accordance with the guidelines
Are they in compliance? what are they missing if anything
- Ask if they are doing anything extra such as using UV light or using a misting disinfectant to clean
Your “better” facilities will go that extra mile for their clients, again its not a bad thing if they are doing just the minimum
- Ask what the overall policy is on Covid and how they are set up to handle the unforeseen: this should be a direct contact question through a quick phone call or contacting them directly via email
Your care provider should have all of these things in place, if they do not; it would be a great opportunity to partner with them and offer solutions
