COVID-19 Safety Strategy
The Rise and Shine Preschool family is an extension of our family-owned business, made up of teachers, parents, children and the community we serve. Rise and Shine Preschool is here to help provide a safe, wholesome environment to the children of our community during this challenging time, and the health, safety and overall well-being of our family, and yours, is always our top priority. We are responding to the COVID-19 crisis with extra safety precautions as we continue in our mission to "set the foundation of children’s emotional, physical, social and intellectual healthy well-being so that they may be productive members of society." Below are some of the latest practices we are performing as we follow the CDC guidelines for childcare settings.
