COVID-19 - And Our Response
During the closure, The Learning Gate was able to get the whole center deep cleaned. We hired a professional cleaning service to wipe down and disinfect every surface in the building.
Not only will we continue to keep our center clean, we will also be adopting guidelines set forth by the CDC, DCF, and the Office Of Licensing.
Here are some of the measures we'll be taking:

Extra Hygiene Measures and Procedure:
- Handwashing: As soon as students arrive to the classroom, they will wash their hands properly. Hands will also be washed throughout the day and more frequently with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Sanitizing stations are located in the front lobby, and parents are expected to sanitize their hands when entering the front lobby at any time.
- Sanitizing/Disinfecting: All hard surfaces will be wiped down throughout the day, before and after use as well as at the end of each day. We’ve hired a new janitorial service that will also be cleaning all classrooms, bathrooms, and common areas in the building when the children leave for the day. Any toys that go into a child’s mouth will be put into the disinfection process like usual. All surfaces and toys will be sprayed prior to leaving the room throughout the day. All sensory bins, soft toys, pillows, dress-up clothes will not be used, but put away during this phase of opening.
- Mask wearing: All staff must wear cloth masks throughout the day. Only those students above the age of 2 will be encouraged to wear cloth masks throughout the day.
- Social distancing: Each class will social distance from other classes to assure safety. Classes will not intermix and will be with the same teachers as much as possible.
