COVID-19 Guidelines for Seeds of Faith Preschool 


​We love our children here at Seeds of Faith Preschool. 
Their safety of themselves and their families is a priority to the preschool.  Seeds of Faith is implementing the following policies concerning the COVID-19 virus.  These policies may change without notice.  The preschool will keep this page updated with any changes that are made in the 2020-2021 school year.
​
Every day your child will have a health screening done before entering the preschool.  The following questions will be asked:
  1. Do you or any of the children you are dropping off have a fever*, cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or other respiratory symptoms, or at least two of the following symptoms: chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or new loss of taste or smell?
  2. Have you or any of the children you are dropping off:  
    -   Had any of these symptoms since the last time you were here?
    - Been in contact with anyone with these symptoms since the last time you were  here?
    - Potentially been exposed to COVID-19 or have reason to believe you/they have ​ COVID-19?
*Fever is determined by a thermometer reading 100.4 or higher or by subjective signs such as flushed cheeks, fatigue, extreme fussiness, chills, shivering, sweating, achiness, headache, or not eating or drinking.  Exposure is sharing a household or having close contact with anyone with COVID-19 or has symptoms of COVID-19.
