Temperature checks
Take your and your child’s temperature before you leave home. If you or your child has a temperature above 99.0 degrees, do not come to school. Additionally, Kids World will take temperatures at the temperature stations before student entry. Even though you may have had a temperature check at home below 99.0, if you child’s temperature reads 99.0 degrees or above at the temperature stations, they will not be allowed entry and must remain with you. We will use the degree that is read on our thermometers.
Do not medicate your child prior to them attending school. Temperature checks will be taken periodically throughout the day. If your child has a temperature above 99.0, you will be called to pick up within 30 minutes. Finding out that your child was medicated and sent to camp is grounds for dismissal.
Safety: If you child has traveled internationally, they cannot attend school for 10 days. If your child or household has been exposed to a positive COVID-19 case, you must notify us immediately, self-quarantine for 10 days, and not attend school.
All teachers and children over the age of 3 will be given a cloth mask to wear each day. Children will not wear masks at meals, naps, or during outside time. Cloth masks will be washed daily by Kids World Learning Center. Outside cloth masks from home are not permitted as we can not guarantee the daily washing of home masks. If you would like your child to wear medical disposal masks, please send 10- 15 per week of care in a Ziplock bag with your child’s name.
Kids World Learning Center will adhere strictly to our sick child policy. If your child is exhibiting any symptoms of illness, you will be called to come and pick up your child immediately. If your child is exhibiting any of the following symptoms and you have given your child medicine, DO NOT send your child to school. Children must be symptom-free without medication for 72 hours of any illness.
