ACP IS OPEN AND WORKING DILIGENTLY TO ENSURE A SAFE AND HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT

FOR OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES...

The CDSS (California Department of Social Services) alongside the CCLD (Community Care Licensing Division) issued a 7-page COVID-19 requirement and suggested checklist to promote safe and healthy practices in the childcare setting. Here are some policies that we are implementing at ACP:

EPP and Supplies:

- All staff wear cloth face coverings. Never place face  coverings on babies or children under 2 because of 

danger of suffocation. Children  over the age of 2 are encouraged to wear facial coverings

- All staff wear gloves for tasks such as serving food,  handling trash, or using cleaning and disinfectant 

products. A new pair of gloves shall be used for each  task.

Cleaning:

- Implemented procedures to frequently clean and disinfect  all high-touch surfaces, such as sink knobs, toilet 

handles, tables, door handles. Ex: bathrooms are cleaned after each use, kitchen table/chairs, etc. are cleaned after each meal, door knobs/handles are cleaned daily.

- Designated bin has been placed in learning space for toys that need to be cleaned,  sanitized, or disinfected before being introduced back into the classroom environment.

- Toys that are difficult to clean (e.g. soft toys) have been temporarily removed from the classroom.

Arrival/Pick-up Procedures:

- Parents meet teacher at entryway (Currently, there is no entering the house).

- Face coverings must be worn at door by children and parents.

- Temperature checks and health screening at the door

- Shoes left on shoe rack outside of the house

- Hand sanitizer is given to children before entering the home.

Group Sizes:

- Groups remain in small cohorts of 10 children or less

- Groups are split into different leaning spaces
