Covid-19 Pandemic


​Like many others at this time, I am concerned about the safety of my family and the children I care for. I want to assure you that we are doing everything possible to lower the chances of us contracting Covid-19 and our home is cleaned and sanitized on a regular basis.

We have enacted a pandemic policy as well to ensure that policies are maintained and to help alleviate stress for the parents of the kids in my care. 

If you had any questions of would like to know more about my policy, please feel free to contact me.

*​* Please note that we are currently in the process of reevaluating our Covid policies due to the announcements recently made by AHS. We will update this page accordingly once those policies are finalized.

Illness policy

At this time, we have made the decision to stick with the original screening questionnaire and zero symptoms allowed policy to ensure the safety of the children in care, my family and myself. 

Children are not able to enter the day home if they have any symptoms and must be symptom free for a minimum of 24 hours before they are allowed to return. If the children are displaying the  typical symptoms associated with Covid-19, then they need to follow the guidelines set by AHS in relation to isolation and testing. 

Play dates & field trips

Safety is of the upmost importance to me and at this time, we are erring on the side of caution so field trips, play dates and park play has been temporarily put on hold. Outside play is limited to my backyard,  walks in my neighbourhood, or somewhere where social distancing is easily achieved. While this is upsetting for us, the safety of the children is my main concern.

Cleaning & sanitizing

We have a rigorous cleaning and sanitizing routine that is completed daily using disinfectants from the approved list by AHS. At the end of each day, the toys that were mouthed are washed or disinfected. Light switches, door knobs, and other high touch surfaces (like the toys) are disinfected.
