Message from the CEO
Our country and the entire world has been enthralled within the grip that the coronavirus pandemic has placed on our society and way of life. Entangled within this confusion and uncertainty are our children, our future. This is an overwhelming and stressful time for us as adults, but children respond to stress differently from us. They can be clingier, angry, agitated, or do things they normally don’t do. We need to respond in supportive ways. Give them extra time and attention. Listen to their concerns, speak kindly, and reassure them. We all need to adapt and respond to the challenges we face.
At LIGHT Health and Wellness, we are adapting to this time of intensive change. Our trained professionals continue working and caring diligently for your children, and we are ready to support you in raising your children and meeting their needs.
The Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) developed Maryland Together: Maryland’s Recovery Plan for Child Care, a plan to continue and expand child care during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Here’s a quote from the plan:
“The COVID-19 pandemic changed the landscape of child care more dramatically than any other phenomenon in the history of our State. An event of this magnitude impacts the number of children we are able to serve and the way in which we are able to provide meaningful early learning and development services for our children and families. The new normal of child care operations may be measured in terms of before and after the pandemic.”
Today, daily child care procedures at LIGHT Rock Child Care Center include new protocols to help ensure the well-being of each child and staff member. These include:
- Taking the temperatures of the staff and children before the day starts
- Frequently sanitizing and handwashing throughout the day
- Bringing individual lunches from home, sealed and packed
- Wearing masks
- Monitoring children for any possible signs of illness
- Handwashing before entering the classrooms
- Social and physical distancing
The pandemic is happening. It is not over, nor is it up to us. We are responsible for how we respond to the challenges we face. Everyone at LIGHT Health and Wellness is committed to being the help; To being the LIGHT our communities need.
And we are committed to supporting you in raising the next generation of scholars, leaders, professionals, and citizens.
In that spirit, here are some additional resources for you to help you and your family thrive and stay safe:
