Midbar Kodesh Temple Preschool Health & Safety Information

Every day, our staff promotes a healthy education environment for children to keep our learning centers open and your kids in class. The preschool years are a time of physical and social curiosity, but with that comes the possibility of sharing germs.

 

We’ve implemented rigorous cleaning routines and additional safety measures throughout the learning environment to keep everyone healthy and feeling well. These include:

​

1. Cleaning and Disinfecting

Our facilities are regularly cleaned, sanitized, and disinfected, and both staff and students make handwashing a routine part of their day by:

• Cleaning the facility, tables, toys, and all other surfaces in the classrooms

• Washing hands before eating, after using the toilet, and any other time that it’s necessary

​

2. Rest Time

Rest is essential for little bodies to reenergize and promote a healthy immune system. To limit the spread of germs during rest time:

• Children provide a personal blanket and pillow for rest time at the beginning of each week

• Naptime items are to be brought home and washed weekly

​

3. Food at School

Our Kosher school takes food seriously. Children’s dairy/vegetarian lunches and snacks must follow these guidelines:

• Lunches and snacks are prepared by families at home and brought to school

• Sharing food at school is discouraged

• Caregivers are asked not to pack nuts of any kind in lunches to protect those with allergies

​

4. Diaper Changing

Regular diaper changes are a part of the routine of our youngest students, and we follow these recommended guidelines:

• Teachers wash hands before and after changing diapers

• Gloves are worn and discarded after each diaper change

• The diaper changing table is cleaned and sanitized after each use
