Dear Friends:
With the cold and flu season ramping up, I
want to remind everyone of the Kindermusik best practices for keeping our
classes happy and healthy for little ones to explore.
Your health and wellness is very important
to me and a lot of behind-the-scenes effort goes into ensuring your experience
in our hands-on environment is a happy and healthy one. Instruments and other
hands-on items are brought to class clean and are thoroughly cleaned after each
class. Soft items (scarves, infant plush blankets, small plush toys, puppets)
are washed in warm water with mild detergent and thoroughly dried in the dryer.
Additionally, carpets are vacuumed weekly and handles and hard surfaces are
sanitized on a regular basis. Hand sanitizer is available in class beside both
doors to use after wiping noses or cleaning up messes.
Being a member of our Kindermusik community
means that you have access to make up classes in the event you need to take a
sick day. If you or your child is unwell (fever, green nasal discharge, tummy
issues, etc) the best place for you is at home where you can rest and recover.
A clear runny nose or slight cough doesn’t necessarily indicate illness as
these often accompany teething. As your child’s primary caregiver, you know
them the best and I trust your judgement in deciding if they are too unwell to
attend class.
If you do need to take a sick day, you can feel connected to class by listening to your CD, doing a little dancing, some snuggling, rocking and bouncing and engaging your little one using the At Home materials available through the “my.kindermusik.com” portal. Crafts, recipes, movement opportunities, work sheets, stories and bonding activities are just some of the things you will find when you explore your At Home units.

What else can you do? Please consider washing hands (you and your
child(ren)) before and after classes (or use the available hand sanitizer) and
leave your shoes in the hallway.
Thank you for all you do to keep our classroom a healthy and happy environment.
