NOTICE: COVID-19 Update
This update will take place beginning May 18, 2020 and will remain in effect until further notice.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the world in ways we have not seen in our lifetimes. We remain positive that with the Stay Home Stay Safe orders in our area, we have been able to slow the spread of the coronavirus. While it is difficult to fully define what normal will look like, we do have to begin taking steps to lead life in the new normal.
As we begin to move forward, we would like to reiterate that the health and safety of your children, as well as the employees that work with your children, is our top priority. We have taken a very careful and thoughtful approach to the reopening of our enrichment programs & camps based on local mandates and best practices.
We have always prided ourselves on maintaining a clean and safe environment for your children including having children and staff wash hands before and after each activity, cleaning equipment and rooms after activities, disinfecting high touch areas continuously, and training employees on health and safety procedures, including but not limited to, washing hands before eating and after toileting, covering coughs or sneezes with a tissue or using the inside of the elbow, (not the hands), and washing hands after coughing, sneezing, or blowing the nose.
When we reopen, we will have some additional procedures in place to protect from COVID-19.
Some of these changes include:
- Screening all children and staff entering Mindworx by taking their temperatures. Those with a temperature of 100.4 F or above will be denied entry.
- Having all children and staff wash their hands or use hand sanitizer immediately upon entry.
- Denying entry to those who have signs or symptoms of a respiratory infection, such as a cough, sore throat, or shortness of breath.
- All guided tours must be pre-arranged by calling Mindworx at 512-828-7781
- Staff will wear masks daily. Children are highly encouraged to wear masks to the program daily.
- All food & snacks must be brought from home. There will be no supplemental treats or snacks given.
- Water fountains must not be used. All drinks and water must be provided from home.
- Drop-off and Pick up will be outside. More details will be provided when specific plans have been made concerning procedures for drop-off and pick-up.
At the beginning of each week in attendance, Parents will have to testify to the following statement:
"My child has not had any previous contact with someone confirmed to be infected with, or is under investigation for, having COVID-19 in the previous 14 days. My child, nor any other member in the household, or any individual my child has had contact with, is ill with any respiratory illness. My child, nor any other member in the household, or any individual my child has had contact with, has travelled internationally in the previous 14 days."
We thank you for your patience and understanding as you adhere to these new changes and we thank you for your continued support of Mindworx and its fantastic programs. We can’t wait to have everyone back!
