Health and Safety guidance
Health and Safety guidance
We are closely following guidance from state and local officials and health authorities as we take extreme care to maintain our safe, healthy school environment. Procedures are subject to change as state regulations, federal guidance, and best practices continue to evolve in response to new developments in the pandemic. Some locations may have different protocols as a result. Please check with your local school to confirm guidelines.

Health
When you walk into CHCC Daycare, you notice the signs of a safe, nurturing environment: the smiling faces of the other families, the excited chatter of children eager to learn and the cheery voices of the teachers as they welcome your child. It is the perfect atmosphere for learning because it encourages your child to explore and discover his or her interests while building friendships that can last a lifetime.

Safety
From first aid training for emergency situations to sanitation and ensuring a clean and healthy environment for children, we have more than 15 years of experience ensuring that every child is happy and healthy. Although scraped knees are a part of growing up, you can have confidence that your child is cared for in a secure, nurturing environment every day.

DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP PROCEDURES
Our new routines for drop-off and pick-up are designed to ensure everyone in our School stays healthy and safe. Only one family at a time will be permitted inside the foyer, where our administration will conduct a quick health screening to ensure your child does not have a fever above 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or other flu-like symptoms. A designated teacher will take your child to and from the classroom. For pick-up, a teacher will bring your child to the foyer. Please be mindful of keeping a six-foot distance from others during drop-off and pick-up.
PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING
We will practice social distancing in the classroom throughout the day. Your children will remain in the classroom or on the playground with their teachers and classmates. For added safety, different classes will not interact with one another, and all special events and visitors will be postponed until further notice.
KEEPING AREAS CLEAN
Our teachers will implement an even more rigorous cleaning routine, and all high-touch surfaces and objects will be sanitized regularly throughout the day. These include, but are not limited to, all learning materials, playground structures, light switches and door handles.
We clean our centers each day with safe, non-toxic cleaning products.
Cleaning supplies are locked safely out of reach of children.
While other child care providers clean toys each evening, CHCC sanitizes toys throughout the day to help prevent the spread of germs.
We encourage children to wash their hands throughout the day by singing songs and teaching lessons about health and hygiene.
FACE COVERINGS
We have provided all Schools with guidance and best practices about wearing face coverings at School. Along with our guidance, Schools must follow local health and state guidelines to ensure they’re compliant with health and safety orders. For example, it’s mandatory for schools to provide face coverings to their employees, which must be worn at all times while on-site.
Our teachers will help familiarize children with the idea of seeing them wearing face masks.
WELLNESS
We assess every child’s health by talking with parents and monitoring for symptoms during the course of each child’s day with us. We increase assessment during flu season.
We notify parents when a child does not feel well to help prevent an illness from spreading.
SECURITY
Our centers are secured so that only authorized staff and families may enter.
Safe, secure perimeters ensure that children can enjoy outdoor play safely.
We use safety gates, window guards (except fire escapes), and cover electrical outlets.
Our centers include a central monitoring smoke detectors connected to the FDNY and fire extinguishers.
Radiators and heaters are covered to prevent your child from touching something hot.
MEDICATION
We have strict policies for administering medication to your child to ensure they are protected.
Based on new research about healthy practices for infants and toddlers, we require a doctor’s note for any medication, prescription or over the counter, given to a child under 2 years to ensure safety.
AUTHORIZATION
Only pre-approved people with photo identification may pick-up your child.
napping
napping
During naps, the lights are never turned off. To ensure nap time safety, children in cribs are always under visual contact and listened to. Children sleep on their backs with age-appropriate bedding.
meals
meals
Our meals are planned by a registered dietitian nutritionist, to ensure healthy food options for growing little ones. Food is prepared on-premises, in our kitchen, while we follow strict standards to cut food to appropriate sizes, based on age group. Staff members supervise all meals and snack times, to make sure our children are eating healthy—and safely.
