Health and Safety at Primrose Midtown

During this time of enhanced concern, we have created a Parent Advisory Group consisting of healthcare professionals and business consultants and are staying up-to-date with the latest state guidelines, licensing requirements, and CDC guidelines regarding the safety and well-being of your child. With a clear appreciation of the trust you place in us, we commit to follow Primrose’s stringent health and safety requirements as well as to meet or exceed Georgia’s guidelines.

We made the decision to close our school for 8 weeks during the pandemic to protect the health and safety of our students, families, staff and Midtown community. Throughout that time we were frequently communicating with families and staff to convey the enhanced measures we were preparing to put into place.

We continue to follow our existing stringent health and safety protocols, including:

• Frequent handwashing by children and staff, which is embedded in our curriculum and daily staff protocols
• Ensuring lower teacher-student classroom ratios than required by the state
• Frequent disinfecting and sanitizing of high-touch toys and surfaces
• Daily laundering of crib sheets, cot sheets and blankets used at nap time
• Requiring any children with a fever to return home and stay home until fever free for at least 24 hours
• Training teachers on common signs of illness in children, and placing signage in every classroom to keep signs of illness top of mind
• Continuous health & safety training, including first aid and CPR certification for all staff
• Maintaining an up-to-date and customized Safe School Plan posted in all classrooms

We are thrilled to be reopening and have now launched new enhanced procedures above normal health and safety protocols to prevent the spread of the virus, such as:

• Limiting the people who enter the building to current team members and enrolled families
• Temperature checks for children and staff
• Touchless check-in
• External drop off and pick up of children
• Increased frequency of hand washing
• Increased sanitation of frequently touched surfaces and toys
