Our highest priority is always protecting the health and safety of your children, our staff and our members. Due to COVID-19, procedures and protocols are based on the latest directives and recommendations provided by the CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the State of Pennsylvania. 

Our talented team continually works to ensure the safest experience possible, while ensuring children still have every opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.

All staff are trained on social distancing, stable groups, cleaning and disinfecting (according to CDC guidelines), virus spread reduction practices as well as required handwashing. Each branch has a designated staff member responsible for making sure that all program participants as well as staff, adhere to the requirements.

Our childcare, Montessori and Kindergarten programs use Tadpoles for sign-in and sign-out. 

All registered childcare participants and school-aged childcare families will be provided with a link to ePACT, our HIPPA-Compliant system for managing medical information and emergency contacts, prior to the start of care. Information provided to ePACT is owned by you and our staff will be provided access while your child(red) are in our program. 

Parents can update their forms and information in ePACT at any time throughout the year. 

Note: EPact must be completed prior to your child's first day of care
