HOW WE’RE KEEPING OUR SCHOOLS SAFE

INFORMATION FOR STEPPING STONE SCHOOL FAMILIES AND FACULTY

Stepping Stone School’s number one priority is upholding our commitment to maintain a safe, healthy environment for your children and family.

We care deeply for the well-being of your children and cannot thank you enough for entrusting Stepping Stone School with their care, nurturance, educational and social and emotional learning.

We want to provide you the information you need to make the best decisions for yourself and your loved ones. Below are the measures we are taking to keep our children, their families and the faculty members safe. We are here for you!

SCHOOL OPERATIONS

Stepping Stone Schools are following the guidance and directives from our federal, state and local governments, including local health departments. In addition to Stepping Stone School’s own rigorous health and safety protocols, we’re reinforcing the CDC-recommended preventative measures.

We have our own electrostatic disinfecting foggers and a CDC registered and approved, non-toxic disinfectant to mist areas of our schools if we think there is any chance that a positive COVID-19 staff or child has been present. This is the latest state-of-the-art process for disinfecting and killing germs and is being recommended by the top national early care and education professional organizations in the country.

STUDENT INFORMATION

Serving you and your families is a privilege, and we thank you for trusting Stepping Stone School to provide safe, healthy environments for your children. All Stepping Stone Schools regularly follow strict cleaning procedures, which already align with the CDC’s recommendations. Also, our administrators and faculty members frequently sanitize all high-touch areas, such as hard surfaces, bathrooms, light switches, doorknobs and learning materials.

Teachers are monitoring the children in their classrooms throughout the day for any signs of illness and we will inform parents to keep children home if they are unwell. We’re keeping the lines of communication open with families as we encourage them to actively partner with us to protect the wellbeing of our students and families.

All Stepping Stone School staff have been properly trained in first-aid, CPR, early care and education, social and emotional learning. Stepping Stone School is uniquely qualified with over 40 years of experience and degreed faculty to continue the loving care and education of your children and guiding them through this unprecedented time in their lives. We are committed to providing you with the peace of mind your family deserves!

What should I do if my child is sick or a family member has been diagnosed with COVID-19?

For the safety of your child and the other children and families at Stepping Stone School, anyone who is ill must stay home. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with COVID-19, immediately alert your campus principal and stay home. Please follow the CDC’s recommendations if you’re unwell or if you have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

For more information about how your school is handling health and safety protocols, please contact your campus principal.

FACULTY INFORMATION

Faculty members at Stepping Stone School provide care, comfort and education for our children, so their continued health and safety are important. Stepping Stone School’s stringent cleaning and disinfecting procedures protect the teachers and staff, too.

Stepping Stone School teachers have received resources, policies and procedures to help them protect themselves and the children in their classrooms.
