During the Pandemic

Preschool 8:00-5:30
Elementary 9:00-3:00
Office Open 8:30-12:00

Visitation Policies --
We are unable to have visitors in our classrooms at this time. If you are interested in a tour, please arrange for an "outside" visit with the school director. This is for our children's health

Academic Programming Changes -- To protect our children and staff during the time of the pandemic, we have had to make a few changes. Though we know that many children learn best with hands-on learning, Field Trips have been suspended until it has been determined safe to leave our campus. And though we pride ourselves on providing the children opportunities for school performances, we are unable to host these as live, community-building events. Alternative events are in the works.

Health changes on campus -- All who enter our campus who are over 2 years old are required to wear a face mask. Follow markings on the ground to maintain 6 feet distance between families. Hand washing with soap is strictly enforced upon arrival, before and after eating, before and after using the restroom, and before and after playtime. Adults may utilize hand sanitizer as needed.

For Families -- If your child has COVID-19 symptoms or has been exposed to a known COVID-19 case, please notify Director Cassie via phone or email. We will respect your privacy and not disclose personal health information, except as directed by Los Angeles County Department of Public Health
