Stopping the Spread
Childcare, as a profession, is receiving almost daily updates on policies and procedures to follow to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. Koala-T-Kare Summer Kamp is following Public Health Madison and Dane County and DCF guidelines very closely. These guidelines and methods of distancing allow Public Health Officials to effectively trace a positive case, and control the spread of infection. Kampers will be in groups of 15 or less, siblings will be in the same group and there will be no co-mingling of groups or staff. Staff and Kampers will have daily temperature checks prior to entering along with a modified sick policy and elevated disinfecting procedures. Parents will drop-off at the doors and not enter the building. Staff will be required to wear face coverings when unable to maintain 6 ft social distance, with the exception of being outside or doing physical activity. At this time, Kampers are not required to wear face coverings.
