Dear Parents,
It is that time of year when sniffles, sneezes, runny noses and
all the yucky sick bugs show up that we dread so much each year. Unfortunately, the CDC released information on January 16 indicating that
this flu season is worse than was initially anticipated. Therefore, we are taking extra precautions to protect both your children and our staff. Please read through our Health and Sickness Policy below as it relates to your child's attendance at therapy. There are two very specific policies that I will highlight for you.
- If ANY member of your family has the flu, your child will not be able to attend therapy (even if your child is well). Due to the highly contagious nature of the flu we adhere strongly to this policy.
- If your child is absent from school for being sick or not feeling well, they should NOT attend therapy.
Keeping Everyone Healthy and Well at Kids Creek
We want you to be assured that Kid's Creek takes every effort to maintain a clean and germ-free environment for your children and for our staff. We are diligent in our efforts on an hourly and daily basis to maintain a safe and healthy environment for all. All of our cleaning procedures are recommended by the American Medical Association.
All children wash their hands prior to the start of a session and will also have them use hand sanitizer during sessions after using equipment.
Please note that due to the quick spread of the FLU, it is our policy that if ANY member of your family is sick with the FLU, that your child may not attend therapy.
Please find below our Health and Sickness Policy for patients. Please realize that we will be very strict about following this policy for the benefit of all patients and our staff.
If you have any questions about the policy, please feel free to ask someone in management.
Thank you for your help in keeping Kid's Creek a healthy environment to learn, play, and work.
