COVID-19 FAQs
At Children’s Creative Corner the safety of Children and Staff is our top priority. We continue to monitor updates from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Illinois and DuPage Department of Public Health and Department of Children and Family Services. We are operating under strict guidelines to ensure the health and safety of Children and Staff. Our Covid plan has been approved by DCFS, IDHS and Governor's office.
Below are few measures we have put in place with guidance from agencies mentioned above.
- Staff will wear face covering. Children over the age of 2 should have face covering when tolerated.
- Staff will be scheduled in a designated/ assigned classroom with their assigned children.
- Each child will be dropped off and picked up at the front entrance and will be walked to their designated/assigned classroom by director.
