COVID 19 Precautions:
To keep everybody safe, we will be adhering to the following precautions:
- Limit of ten students in each class room at a time. All will sit at separate tables 6' apart (with the exception of friends who drove together or siblings.) This will need to be communicated to us ahead of time.
- Masks will be worn through lobby and anytime while not seated. Students will have the option to pull down their mask once seated. If you would like your child to wear their mask the whole time, please let us know in advance. Teachers and assistants will wear masks at all times.
- We will take each student's temperature at the door using their wrist.
- Students will either use hand sanitizer or wash up in the bathroom before entering the classroom.
- Students will be dropped off at door. We apologize, but at the time we cannot allow parents in our office. Doors will remain locked through camp.
- Students will receive a clean apron at the start of each day. We have a hamper for dirty aprons and wash them after every single use. (We have over 200 aprons in our studio!)
- Frequently touched surfaces will be cleaned throughout the day and reported in our cleaning log.
