Staying Healthy

Grace Children’s Center is updating our policies and procedures in every effort to keep everyone safe and healthy. This page is in process. Updates are made as new recommendations are made and practices implemented. Our primary goal is holistic health for children, families, and staff. Some of our practices keep in mind the child’s social/emotional health as well as their physical health. If you have any questions please email childrenscenter@gotgrace.com.

What you can do:

There are many simple ways that you can partner with us in keeping everyone healthy. Including:

  • Check in and Out that allows for one family dropping off/picking up at a time. More
  • Let us know when you keep your child home for any reason, the day you are keeping them home. We are monitoring all reasons for absences in childcare, and tracking all illness symptoms. Send a message through ProCare to let us know as soon as possible.
  • Keep Your Ill Child Home
  • Complete the Daily Health Check upon arrival at the center each day
  • Maintain a consistent schedule of dropping off and picking up. This helps us to provide consistent groups and teachers.
