LLA has always operated its early learning centers with stringent health and hygiene, cleaning and disinfecting, and illness exclusion policies because regular health and hygiene practices provide some of the best defenses against the spread of contagious illnesses. In response to the increased challenges of COVID-19, we have implemented the following enhanced protocols at our centers:

Enhanced Operating Protocols:
~ Nonessential visitors are not permitted in the center during hours of operation
~ Posted health notice restricting entry
~Drop-offs/pick-ups are restricted to the lobby or at outside classroom door
~Reduced class sizes – determined with reference to applicable local guidance
~Consistent groupings in separate classrooms

Enhanced Health and Hygiene Protocols:
~ Daily temperature and health check conducted on arrival
~ Social distancing is practiced as much as possible
~LLA educational staff wear face masks/coverings
~ Frequent cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch surfaces, toys, and laundered items
~Enhanced COVID-19 exclusion policy restricting center access in the event of a suspected or known exposure.
