Zoom Call Link

Agenda

This call purpose is for directors to ask questions of one another and hear what how others are solving problems.

Questions that will be discussed:

  • Tuition if you are closed how are you handling this? 
  • What to do If a staff member does not feel comfortable working at this time? 
  • Are you paying staff for the added week? 
  • Are you reimbursing tuition for the week? 
  • When do you plan to make decisions for the coming weeks? 

Creative ideas we have heard so far: 

  • Connecting with students- For closed centers ideas to connect with students include Zoom circle time, digital story times by teachers sent to class, private instagram accounts for fun lessons and read alouds
  • Lower ratios in classrooms to help slow the spread of Coronavirus.
  • Closing an hour early for more time to disinfect the center.
  • Personal connections- Keep things personal. This matters at this time.
    • Call families if you are closed check in and see if there are any immediate needs. 
    • Call families if you are Open to see who needs and does not need care at this time, to consider space for first responders/health care workers.
    • Check in with staff- Have a zoom staff meeting to connect and answer any questions or concerns. Call them personally as well.
