Our COVID-19 Response
We are here to make your child safe.
During this pandemic, Red Door Learning Centers remain vigilant in following the state required procedures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. Children age 2 and older are encouraged to wear a well-fitting mask of two or more layers that covers both their nose and mouth.
We encourage staff to wear masks/face coverings. Wearing a well-fitting face covering and following the proper procedures is particularly important during the 5 days after a COVID-19 exposure and days 5-10 following exclusion due to COVID-19 symptoms or confirmed infection.
We also recommended that staff who had close contact with someone who has COVID-19 get tested on Day 5 after the last close contact (except that staff who had COVID-19 in the past 90 days need to get tested only if they develop symptoms). If they test positive, they must isolate and be excluded from work.
Below is our visual demo of the measure we are taking during this time.
