COVID-19 UPDATE
Children’s Garden Families,
WE THANK YOU AGAIN SO MUCH FOR ALL OF THE LOVE!!!! You have all been so amazing. Thank you for being so understanding throughout this process, thank you for donating supplies, and thank you to those of you that are keeping your children home and still supporting our business and teachers so that we can remain open.
Here are some of our updates due to Covid-19:
We will be temporarily changing our hours. Starting 3/25 our hours will be 7:30am - 5:30pm. This seems to be accommodating most of our families at this time!! We ask that if your child has not been coming and needs to come, please let us know by 5pm the day before so that we can plan accordingly.
Also due to Covid-19, we are required to take the following mandatory precautions:
Prohibit any person except the following from accessing an operation: operation staff; persons with legal authority to enter, including law enforcement officers, HHSC Child Care Licensing staff, and Department of Family and Protective Services staff; professionals providing services to children; children enrolled at the operation; and parents or legal guardians who have children enrolled and present at the operation.
Require pickup and drop-off of children outside of the operation, unless its determined that there is a legitimate need for the parent to enter an operation.
So just to be clear, for morning drop off and afternoon pick up we will be watching for who pulls up. In the mornings, please take your child and their belongings out of the car and a teacher will meet you outside. At pick up in the evenings, please stand outside of your vehicle and we will bring your child to you! Please have patience with us during this new procedure. We ask that if you or your child are showing any symptoms or have been in contact with anyone with symptoms to let us know immediately and do not come in.
We do fully intend to stay open throughout the coming weeks. We will re-evaluate each day and are following the updates closely. We are still doing our normal cleaning and sanitizing procedures as well as doing plenty of extra sanitizing in all the main pathways, door knobs, faucets, toys, etc throughout the day. We are checking temperatures as the kids come in and ensuring hand washing all day!
Due to the increase in cleaning and sanitizing (and the store craziness), we will gladly accept any donations! We don’t want to take from anyones own home but if you do have extra of the following products then we will all greatly appreciate it.
Hand Sanitizer, Clorox or Lysol Wipes, Lysol Spray and Antibacterial Hand Soap
We hope all of our families stay healthy in the coming weeks. We have asked our staff to do the same cleaning procedures at home and be mindful in any public place they do need to go to. We strongly ask that you all try to take the same precautions at home as well. We again ask that you
please inform us if you or any family member is in contact with someone showing symptoms! Thank you!!
