What types of COVID-19 pre-screening procedures are in place?
All students and staff will have their temperatures taken each morning with a non-contact thermometer before entering the building. In addition, a verbal screening of COVID 19 related symptoms will occur each morning with all students and staff as well. Those students or staff with temperatures at or above 100.4 degrees, or those exhibiting Covid 19 related symptoms, will not be permitted inside the building.
What are the procedures for those who present symptoms of COVID-19?
All students and staff members with a temperature of 100.4 or higher will not be admitted. All students and staff members are to remain home if they are showing symptoms related to COVID-19. Parents will be contacted immediately if their child presents symptoms. Any students presenting COVID 19 related symptoms will be placed in an isolation room with a certified health professional until parents can pick up them up. Any surface that came into contact with that student will be swiftly disinfected. Student will not be allowed back with symptoms and will be monitored closely for symptoms for 10 days upon return. Parents of other students who were within 6 feet distance of a student presenting symptoms for a 15 minute period will also be contacted to be made aware of the situation, and asked to monitor for symptoms for 10 days.
What are the daily sanitation and precautionary procedures?
All students and staff will be required to wear a face covering upon entry to the facility and during all transitions (in hallways, pathways, restrooms, etc.). Staff members will wear a face covering at all times when interacting with and supervising students. Hand sanitizer dispensers will be available throughout the building. All students and staff members will be expected to sanitize their hands upon entry into the learning space and as needed. Students are encouraged to bring their own bottle of hand sanitizer. Clearly labeled pathway traffic patterns and floor markings will be placed in high-traffic areas. Students will be expected to maintain appropriate social distance from one another. Student learning stations will be sanitized 5 times daily. The number of students in the restroom at one time will be limited. Hand sanitizing solutions are kid-safe and EPA-approved.

Lunch bags will be kept within each child’s assigned workstation, and snack and lunch breaks will occur within their work stations as well. Education through Imagination staff will utilize non-latex safety gloves if a child needs assistance with their lunch or snack.

Students must bring a laptop or chrome book, headphones with built-in microphone, charging cable, pad of paper, pencils, and any other school supplies they’ll need for their assignments and online education through their school. Students may also bring pillow, blanket, or other small items to make their learning spaces more comfortable. Each station has a desk, access to electrical outlets, plus room for the child to stretch out or sit/lie on the floor on their assigned mats as desired.
Do you have discounts available for siblings?
In order for us to maintain the highest level of safety, we allow only a limited number of students to enroll. In order to sustain high standards of STEAM enrichment and supervision, we are unable to extend any sibling discounts.
How do I withdraw from the program once enrolled?
Families may withdraw at any time but we kindly ask you to give 2 weeks written notice before the next payment cycle. We provide credit for weeks not used that can be used toward other camps, classes, or products. There will be no refunds issued.
How will drop off and pick-up work?
Custom schedules will be created for each student, including staggered drop off and pick-up times to promote adequate social distancing.
