COVID Preparedness
In person learning strategies for Noah’s Ark Preschool
We are excited to continue with offering a high-quality, faith-based preschool experience while we embrace necessary changes in our world as a result of COVID. During this upcoming year you can continue to expect:
- Creativity nurtured
- Social interactions with peers
- Play-based Learning
- Meaningful Adult relationships
- Self-Help skills fostered
- Opportunities for Large muscle play
- Daily Faith formation.
In March of 2020 when we left at the end of the week, we had no idea that those days would be the last in the classroom for the year. Like many others, we responded quickly and honored the guidance of national and state leaders. While distance learning did have a place, we believe that returning to in-person learning in September for as much of the year as we safely can, is best for our preschool program.
Best practices Moving forward…We continue to look for guidance from a number of agencies and organizations as we plan what preschool may look like in the fall. We look at…
- Direction from agencies such as CDC, MDH and DHS.
- Fact based information from experts
- Insight from childcare programs which remained open
- Consideration of direction of Minnesota Department of Education
- Ministry partnerships with St. John’s Lutheran Church
Community Commitment to Healthy Students…
A significant aspect of being open and staying open for the upcoming year rests in our commitment as a community to work together for the health and wellness of all children and staff. As a parent enrolling your child at Noah’s Ark Preschool you are committed to:
- Bringing only healthy children to school. Additional guidance will be forthcoming but it is critical that for us to not close classrooms that each family do their part to keep children healthy.
- Understanding quarantine procedures. If there is a positive case reported in our program, we will work directly with the Minnesota Department of Health to implement the appropriate next steps. This may include having a full classroom, including staff, be quarantined for a period of time (14 days is the current guidance).
With any additional questions, please contact Director Kelly Thole.
