Infection Safety Guidelines

Bright Tomorrows has in place a core set of infectious disease prevention strategies as part of our normal operations.  To help protect children from COVID-19, influenza (flu), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and other infections, we:

• Screen staff and children for fever (100.4 or higher) and other symptoms prior to entry to Bright Tomorrows each day;
• Use a drop-off and pick-up routine of children at the lobby door to keep cross-contamination to a minimum;
• Limit the sharing of supplies, food, toys, and other items between children;
• Limit and re-direct close person-to-person contact (hugging, games involving touching or tagging);
• Practice healthy hygiene routines – such as hand washing at critical times of the day;
• Ask visitors to comply with the most recent childcare standards/executive orders; currently, masks are recommended and not required;
• Ensure all surfaces and used items are cleaned and sanitized daily;
• Abide by the latest guidelines to respond to all infectious outbreaks,  diagnoses and/or exposures;
• Require public health notices and wall signs to be posted on entry and exit doors, in diapering areas, and in restrooms.
