​Alpine's Health Policies

​Your family's health is our priority.

Our goal is to limit your child's exposure to large groups of children. 
​~ Each class is very small, with 4 to 12 children.
~ The children play, learn, and eat in their own classrooms.
~ We spend a lot of time on our huge playgrounds, so the children may spread out.
What the Teachers Are Doing
  • Maintain consistent groups, so your child is with the same other children.
  • Keep the groups separate throughout the day.
  • Take the children outside as often as possible for recess and academics.
  • Limit the number of people who enter the building.
  • Teachers wear masks.
  • Increase sanitizing and disinfecting.​
  • Remove all shared seating, such as couches and bean bags.
  • Remove sensory tables, cloth toys, cloth puppets, stuffed animals, and cloth dolls.
