Covid Health and Safety Guidelines

Kids For Kids Academy remains committed to the health and safety of our students.

Although we understand that as of Friday 2/25/2022, DCF announced that they are no longer requiring children in childcare to wear masks, we at Kid For Kids Academy strongly recommend that they do.
As a parent, it is your choice to make. If your child arrives at school wearing a mask, we will encourage and support them to keep it on.
We will continue to offer free masks to all children to facilitate this.
As an extra measure of protection, our kids in VPK and Kindergarten through Second Grade will continue work within individual plexiglass workspaces.
Our staff will continue to wear masks and we ask that if you approach the door that you continue to wear one too.
All students and staff will undergo daily temperature checks.
The school will be cleaned and sanitized daily.
Students will not mix with other age groups.
All children will wash hands upon entry to the facility.
The health and safety of your child is our #1 Priority.

Thank you for entrusting Kids For Kid Academy with your child. It is our privilege to serve you.
