Peak... Can this be over then?

They are predicting we will reach “peak” in 4 weeks.... this is when you will start seeing cases close to home, friends, family, self. You need to have nessessary things. YOU and your family needs to be able to stay at home for a month.  

I am putting together a panel of medical professionals from our client base to keep us informed of factual information and that have our centers best interests at heart.  I do not want to close but they feel that it may be inevitable at some point.  Question is when and for how long.  I am a business.  It will be very hard to close and stay closed for a long duration.  So we need to be diligent in personal hygiene  and cleanliness of the classroom.  

There may be a time when you need to only go to work and home..... to try and keep exposure down.  If I have several teachers out then we can’t stay open.  So that is one of my concerns..... having teachers get this and just not able to meet radios.  Things we will start doing on Monday.... Wellness check upon arrival.  Anyone with a fever will not be able to stay.  Anyone that looks like they aren’t feeling good or acts sleepy and coughs a lot or seems to be wheezing... They can not return until they don’t have a fever without medicine for 23 hours and are otherwise symptom free.  Everyone wash their hands upon arrival.  

Make ages 2 and up use a squirt of hand sanitizer about every hour.  Clean toddlers hand after every diaper use as well as before and after they eat.  LOTS OF HAND WASHING.  Have the kids wipe their own noses and clean their hands afterwards, or you be sure and clean your hands after wiping a nose.  Clean door Nobs and spray with disinfectant during a lot of action of opening and closing of the doors.  Especially during pick up and drop off.  Clean surfaces in your classroom often... open all hall doors in the mornings for drop offs and we will be opening all hallway doors at 3 every day so please keep you kids playing and entertained so they aren’t screaming and crying when parents are picking up.  Our supply office will be locked and we will be keeping count of what you get and when.  Use things you need but don’t waste.  There may be a time we can’t replace them.  I am staying i too of this story and educating myself daily so that I can make good decisions.  We will all get through this .....   3/13/20
