This month, we are proud to say that we have officially welcomed young learners back into our education centers after a year of virtual learning. MT’s Education and Leadership Teams are carefully initiating a phased “reopening” of our early childhood classrooms.
When your child is enrolled in one of our high-quality Education programs or Family Engagement programs your family is provided with a support system to help you and your child during their early developmental years.
As always, health and safety remain our number one priority. We have carefully consulted with public health experts to ensure we can deliver on our mission while also protecting children and our team. Prior to coming to designated areas for body checks (a practice to make sure that children are healthy and safe), we complete a temperature scan and self-certification. All adults and children 2 years of age and older are required to wear masks in and around our buildings.
When our young learners arrive at Martha’s Table, they are met by their classroom teacher. They settle into class and play some tabletop games and interact with their teachers until breakfast is served. Breakfast comes individually wrapped and portioned for the children to help minimize the passing of germs. Children wash their hands and eat. Upon completing their meal, they will rewash their hands.
Next, children engage in morning circle time. They sit six feet from their classmates and sing songs, dance, and enjoy other small activities. The next two hours are filled with outside time, center work/play, and lots of handwashing. Lunch is served at 12 pm. Children wash hands, eat, and wash hands again!
They then take a nap from 1-3 pm. Once they wake up, they go potty and wash their hands and then they eat a snack. After snack, children will either spend more time outside developing their gross motor muscles or they will have more center work.
While we know that many of the changes and challenges COVID-19 has brought will persist for years to come, this step forward has us optimistic that the light can finally be seen at the end of the tunnel.
