Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19)
Policies & Procedures
The health and safety of your little monster is our top priority!
We are committed to providing a high quality and safe environment for our children throughout the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. We are continuously monitoring the latest developments and as more information becomes available we are adapting and making changes to our safety measures and protocols.
We are implementing all control measures established by the The BC Centre for Disease Control, Vancouver Coastal Health and the City of Vancouver. This includes ongoing sanitization of our facility, daily temperature checks and logs, and an education campaign to teach your little monster the importance of washing their hands and covering their mouths before coughing or sneezing.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
We ask that only one parent/guardian enter the lobby at a time, and masks must be worn at all times. All children will have their temperatures checked before entering the facility. Upon entering the child will immediately be escorted by one of our educators to a sink to wash their hands with soap and water.
Staff will wear masks while attending to pick-ups and drop-offs but may remain maskless throughout the day. All staff are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Daily Wellness & Temperature Checks For Staff and Children
