We have been open since June 1, 2020 with zero COVID cases whilst providing a normal, relaxed environment. We have the following policies as per the guidance of the Ministere de la famille, and Santé Quebec.
- All-staff wear masks 100% of the time indoors. Each staff member has a visor to use as necessary. Masks are not required whilst outdoors
- Children are exempt from masks and social distancing.
- Additional staff on site to disinfect doors, bathrooms, toys.

- A “no-touch” temperature reading is taken for each child and staff member upon arrival.
- Additional hand washing is scheduled for both children and staff.
- Mandatory hand sanitizer upon entry for adults.
- Protocols are in place if a child were to develop an illness while at the daycare. A child with a fever or a new cough, will be quarantined with a dedicated staff member until their parents arrive.
