Visit the Early Childhood Center

We are excited to invite you to visit the Early Childhood Center through our virtual tour!

We are currently scheduling tours in-person for parents interested in our program. We are asking that the visit is limited to 2 adults and all visitors must follow our guidelines prior to entering the center. 

Arrival procedure:

• Before allowing entry into the operation, all individuals will complete a health screening 
• Check-in/out should be done outside of the classroom door. Please ring the doorbell to the gate if you need assistance and a caregiver will come to greet you.
  • Infants in the Purple Room will need to be checked in to the Red room during the school year, as parents are not able to enter the school campus. 
• Parents may enter the STECC facility, but we are encouraging limiting foot traffic in and out of the classrooms, when possible.

Daily Health Screenings will include: 

1. Temperature Checks

When a child or staff member's temperature is checked we will be using the following guidelines to determine if they can be admitted or remain in the center for the day.

• Temperatures between 99.5 and 100.3 without the presence of other symptoms [see below] of illness will have temperature checks  throughout the day to ensure the temperature does not rise above 100.3. Parents will be notified if the temperature rises or new symptoms develop.
• Temperatures under 100.3 with the presence of other symptoms of illness will be required to follow Illness policy of the operation
• Temperatures of 100.4 and higher with, or without, the presence of other symptoms of illness will not be admitted into the center or will be sent home from care. See Illness policy for return to work/care information

2. Asking all individuals the following questions,
   • Do you (or the child) have any visible signs of illness (Shortness of breath, chills, sore throat, loss of taste or smell, muscle pain, runny nose, feeling tired, and poor appetite, fever, cough, diarrhea, or vomiting; Symptoms may be very mild or more severe.) or have they had any of these symptoms since they were last here?
   • Have you or anyone in your household come into contact (within 6 feet for a total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period) with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 or has symptoms of COVID-19?

Any individual meeting the criteria above, may not be admitted into the center.

Mask Use

Adult staff and parents will be asked to wear masks in the facility. If a person is exhibiting symptoms of illness (such as cough from allergies) they may be encouraged to wear a mask until symptoms improve. If community health conditions should change, then this policy may need to be reviewed. All staff and children (2+) are encouraged to exercise the option to wear a mask at any time.
