Bright Futures Learning Centers are proud to be serving our community during this challenging time. In Fargo we have safely been able to stay open throughout all of 2020! In general, we are continually updating our operations to meet new state and federal guidelines as they become available.
Regulations have been put in place to help ensure the health and safety of our teachers, staff, and children. Thorough hygienic and sanitary procedures are a standard part of our operation. However, we have increased measures in these areas to help compensate for COVID-19. Upon entering our buildings, we trust that none of these symptoms are of concern along with anything else that may be COVID 19 related.
At Bright Futures we do always like to take a proactive approach to health, to build our immune systems to be able to fight off preventable illnesses! From the foods we serve, uplifting environments that focuses on people, to the ample outdoors space, to our health-conscious cleaning supplies, and much more!
For specific questions regarding how COVID-19 is impacting Bright Futures, feel free to reach out to info@brightfuturesfargo.com or a site director. Additionally, we want to thank all of our families and staff for their understanding, patience, and cooperation as we navigate through this time together.
Here are some of the things we do to keep us all healthy and safe:
- Temps checked at the door with a touch free thermometer
- Masks worn by unvaccinated adults
- We ask parents to abide by normal state health symptoms restriction guidelines as well as a stricter guideline due to Covid
- We have multi step cleaning process as outlined by the ND Health Department
- High touch areas cleaned more regularly
- Bin for dirty toys as soiled and all other toys on a regular cleaning schedule
- High temp sanitizing dishwashers to make sure things are cleaned and sanitized
- Great outdoor spaces to get the children out and enjoying the fresh air
We keep a close connection with our local health department as well as our state licensor regarding changes and recommendations to provide the safest environment possible for your family.
