At Grace Children’s Center, we work closely with families to maintain a healthy environment where children can learn and thrive. We follow clear illness and wellness guidelines to help prevent the spread of germs, including frequent handwashing, regular cleaning of shared spaces, and monitoring for signs of illness throughout the day. When children are not feeling well, we partner with families to ensure they receive the rest and care they need at home before returning to the classroom. By working together and communicating openly, we create a safe, supportive space that protects the well‑being of every child and staff member.

There are many simple ways you can partner with us to help keep our community healthy, including:

Letting us know whenever you keep your child home, for any reason, on the same day. We monitor all absences and track illness symptoms to support the health of the Center. Please send a message through Brightwheel as soon as possible.

Keeping your child home when they are ill, following our illness guidelines to help prevent the spread of germs.

Completing the Daily Health Check each morning upon arrival.

Bringing only what your child will need for the week on Mondays, including diapers, ointment, sunscreen, wipes, bottles, formula, breast milk, extra clothing, shoes, socks, and a blanket and comfort item for nap time.

Avoiding sending toys, food, or other items from home that are not on the approved list.
