The Licensing Inspector has reviewed with the provider COVID-19 Essential Guidance for Child Care programs, specifically in regards to social distancing and the use of masks.
Phase III guidelines issued by the Governor recommend:
"Practice social distancing to the maximum extent while still allowing for the care and developmental needs of children. Staff need to be in close proximity to children when providing care; however, programs should keep children at least 6 ft. apart from each other and limit physical proximity as best as they are able."
"Staff and children over the age of two should use cloth face coverings when physical distancing cannot be maintained, as is medically and developmentally appropriate.
The CDC provides general guidance on the proper use of facial coverings and other personal safety equipment"
