Health and Safety Measures

As BBMA locations remain open and continue to serve our communities to help those on the front lines, we are taking extreme measures and several serious protocols to maximize the health and safety of our children, families, and staff.

1. All staff are required to scrub-in upon arrival and scrub-out upon leaving school. These new procedures require scrubbing from fingertip to elbow. This is mandatory and will help prevent germs from coming into or leaving our schools.
2. We revised our drop-off and departure procedures. Your school’s administrators will require that you remain in the lobby area until a staff member or administrator can escort your child to or from his or her classroom.
3. We are taking the temperatures of every child and staff member when they enter our buildings.
4. We are limiting class sizes and will ensure that children remain contained within their own classroom and play areas for the entire day.
5. We have new smocks for all staff to cover their clothing, which are washed every day.
6. We are strictly enforcing our handwashing and sanitation policies, including disinfecting all toys, door handles, and frequently-touched services throughout the day.
7. We have implemented no visitor or outside vendor policies and are limiting unnecessary contact and access within and outside of classrooms.
8. No teachers will travel between multiple centers.

We are monitoring this situation day to day to make sure we are providing the right support to our staff, our parents and our community as the situation rapidly evolves. We want to be diligent, informed, and safe in every decision we make. For more information about COVID-19, please review the resources below:
