Health screenings and temperature checks will be done if a child appears ill. Children and staff must have a temperature below 100.0 to participate that day. There currently is no mask mandate in our school-age programs; however, this is subject to change based on information received and rules set forth by Governor DeWine and/or ODJFS Child Care Licensing.

We adhere to the Staff-child ratios and group sizes determined by the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services; there are currently no required modifications.

There is frequent cleaning and sanitizing of high traffic areas throughout the day.
