PARK CENTER PRESCHOOL
SAFETY GUIDELINES
We understand that this is an uncertain time for everyone. Please know that
your child’s safety is our top priority. Before the school year begins, our teachers
and staff will participate in extensive health and safety practices training
following all CDC and DCFS guidelines. All precautions will be taken including
washing hands frequently, wearing face coverings, checking temperatures,
physical distancing, restricting access to the classroom and performing health
screenings.
Here are a few of the many ways we’re keeping our children and staff safe. For
the full list, click here.
CLASSROOMS
Children will be assigned to classrooms in small group pods and will be with the
same group each day at all times of the day.
PPE EQUIPMENT
All staff will be required to wear face coverings. Children will wear a face
covering as practicable but not at snack or outside time. Face coverings will be
made available by the Park District for all staff and children if needed.
HEALTH SCREENINGS AND TEMPERATURE CHECKS
All staff will be asked to take their temperature each day and must be feverfree
before arriving at Park Center Preschool for at least 72 hours without
fever reducing medication. When child arrives to school, staff will take
temperature of adult and child with a no touch thermometer at the entrance
door. Temperatures will be logged on the sign-in/out sheet. Any child with a
temperature of 100.4 or higher will not be allowed to attend program. Staff will
monitor child’s health throughout the day.
