Floating around in the minds of operators and parents alike are questions like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How will social distancing be enforced?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How will you screen for symptoms?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What actions need to be taken if a child or staff member tests positive?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What will infection-prevention controls (including personal hygiene and disinfection) look like in their entirety?\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The key to reopening your childcare center is to stay prepared. Here at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kinderpass.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KinderPass<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we\u2019ve done the legwork and put together a comprehensive guide on how to reopen your daycare as safely as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s jump right in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>New Enhanced Procedures\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s talk about what a typical day will look like for daycares post-lockdown.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Daily Cleaning + Enhanced Sanitary Tasks<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re living in the age of face masks and hand sanitizer. Expect to arrive early and close later (or earlier) to accommodate extra cleaning procedures. Here\u2019s how to keep your center as safe as possible:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Disinfect surfaces and toys with a bleach and water solution (this should be done throughout the day)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay away from toxic cleaning products (labeled CORROSIVE or DANGER)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have extra staff on disinfectant duty\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep an extra room available that\u2019s already disinfected (to switch to in an emergency)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instruct children to wash their hands with soap and water while singing their ABCs\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cover water fountains after they\u2019ve been cleaned for the day (or keep them covered throughout the pandemic)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Verify all expiry dates before using anything<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean and disinfect all personal belongings that your staff and children bring with them, high chairs, tables and countertops, and any surfaces that are used for food preparation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cots and cribs must be labeled and assigned to an individual child, and all mattresses must be cleaned and disinfected if they get wet or soiled in<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High touch areas like cribs should be disinfected twice per day<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thoroughly disinfect any diapering cream lotion and change stations<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All hygiene products should be labeled with an individual child\u2019s name<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blankets should be sent home each night for washing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enacting these cleaning procedures is an important step to ensuring that you can provide a clean and safe environment for your children. Remember, disinfectant should be left on a surface for at least two minutes before wiping it away.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Screening\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cleaning and screening go hand-in-hand, and the two should occur regularly throughout the day. So, what should proper screening procedures look like?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Take children and staff\u2019s temperature when they arrive outside the building. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Handwashing should be done the moment they enter. Choose a thermometer that\u2019s simple to use and non-invasive without compromising accuracy, such as a forehead thermometer.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Keep an eye out for visible symptoms. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Train staff to be visually alert to children who aren\u2019t feeling well. Research on the virus indicates that individuals who are visibly sick are the most contagious.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Ask questions. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have parents fill out symptom-related questionnaires before dropping kids off. Ask children throughout the day about how they\u2019re feeling.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Classroom\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The classroom has become the most dangerous area of the daycare. Here\u2019s where we need to be strategic to be safe. Keep the following ideas in mind:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add a check-in station at the front of the classroom\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put down tape on the floors of classrooms, hallways, and bathrooms to enforce distancing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limit the number of children in a class at once\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create groups (siblings with siblings, certain teachers with certain children)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ration lunch and snack breaks (small groups at a time)\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take advantage of outdoor playtime as much as possible but without mixing groups<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>New Policies\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before reopening, remember to keep track of which children are returning immediately and which staff will be able to support them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will certain staff opt not to return due to increased risk (including those who are older or immunocompromised, as well as staff living with at-risk individuals)? Will returning staff keep the same hours? Use an online tool like Google Forms to manage your families and staff\u2014and to build a list of substitutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we\u2019ve learned anything from the pandemic, it\u2019s the importance of preparation. Without a working vaccine, the threat of a second wave (or multiple waves) looms above our heads. Will your center be ready to shut down again?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Consider setting up the following to brace for the worst-case scenario:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Email newsletters to keep parents informed\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A YouTube channel or Facebook group to stay in touch and offer educational material\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Online enrolment and billing\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should also look into creating new policies that will provide your daycare center with some much-needed structure. Here are a few that we recommend you consider:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Structuring Drop-offs\/Pick-ups<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drop-offs and pick-ups are a vital part of the daycare experience. However, you will need to create strict policies to keep these processes as safe as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All drop-offs and pick-ups should occur near the front entrance of the building. Avoid letting parents into the building unless it\u2019s absolutely necessary. You should also stagger arrival times using 20-minute intervals to avoid violating social distancing rules.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set up a screening table with a bottle of hand sanitizer to ensure that all students are entering your daycare with clean hands. We recommend assigning one of your staff members to act as a runner to take the children to the classroom.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure all children and staff arriving in the classroom wash their hands according to your hand washing policies to minimize community spread.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. How to Handle Potentially Sick Children<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s inevitable that a child may come down with a basic cold or flu-like symptoms. If a child has a temperature greater than 38 degrees Celsius (100.4 F), they should stay home and rest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend that you communicate your policies very clearly with parents, so they know what to expect should their child come down with a cold.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Restricting Visitors to Your Daycare<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All non-essential visitors should be restricted from visiting your daycare during the current pandemic. Your daycare should only permit essential workers, emergency service personnel, and other individuals that are vital to your ongoing operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone who enters your daycare should be subject to a basic screening and temperature check. A sample screening test should ask the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do you or your child(ren) have cold or flu-like symptoms?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you\/your child(ren) traveled outside of the country in the last 14 days?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you\/your child(ren) been in contact with a confirmed or probable case of COVID-19?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you\/your child(ren) had close contact with a person with acute respiratory illness who has been outside the country in the last 14 days?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visitors that fail or refuse to answer the questions in the basic screening test should be barred from entering your daycare. You may also opt to use temperature checks with a temperature scanner. This is highly recommended, and an easy way to detect potential infections.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>New Standards\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The face mask. We don\u2019t think it\u2019s too early to call it the number-one fashion accessory of 2020. The question is, should our staff and children wear masks or not?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The consensus among medical professionals is that masks should be worn by all staff members and children above the age of 2. But introducing face masks to children too young to understand why they\u2019re necessary is far from simple. No need to worry\u2014here are our recommendations:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Explain as much as possible.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Consider singing a song or telling a story to explain why face masks are necessary. Get creative\u2014remember, superheroes are masked!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Guess who? <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating a slideshow with a guessing game (\u201cCan you guess who this is?\u201d) is a fun and creative way to ease children\u2019s potential fears about why staff members\u2019 faces are covered.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Create name tags. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With half our faces concealed, knowing who\u2019s who can be confusing. Decorative name tags bring personalities to the forefront and help children remember who\u2019s behind the mask.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to face masks, classrooms will need to be deep cleaned and sanitized. You might even consider hiring a disinfection service to make sure your rooms are as safe as possible. For extra precautions, a couple of daycare staples will need to go, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stuffed animals<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Playdough\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Puzzles\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Costumes\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Nothing that can\u2019t be disinfected after each child uses it\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With masks and sanitization out of the way, let\u2019s dive into the administrative and regulatory aspects of reopening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Keep the Lines of Communication Open<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perhaps the most vital part of the reopening process is maintaining open communication between daycare owners, staff, and families. Remember, our goal is to create a new normal. Whether it\u2019s face masks or temperature scans, these changes will disrupt day-to-day life until they\u2019re woven into a routine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The secret to a seamless reopening is communication.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure parents know what to expect. Keep these ideas in mind:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Email updates.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A healthy dose of communication keeps parents in the loop and anxieties to a minimum.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Provide a complete set of new guidelines.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Send parents an outline listing all the changes you\u2019ve implemented with a recap of the essential takeaways. This should include new protocols for drop-offs and pick-ups, when to send a sick child home, and any restrictions around visitors.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Issue instructions for the first day.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To keep your first day as stress-free as possible, let parents know how they can help with drop-offs and pick-ups.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to communicating with families, make sure returning staff are well-informed and understand what exactly is expected of them once your center opens its doors again. Training can take place virtually, well in advance of reopening.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Make Your Reopening Seamless With KinderPass\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kinderpass.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">KinderPass<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a daycare management app that lets you enroll children, edit waitlists, manage staff payroll, and communicate with families all in one convenient location.
