Our mission and social justice branches are guiding every decision in our response to the COVID-19 crisis.
As scientists and public health officials learn more about this disease, recommendations can change quickly. In particular, many questions are often raised when determining when a student or staff member can return to school. Apple Playschools is required by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs to make decisions about returning to care in consultation with the Washtenaw County Health Department. However, WCHD has notified us that we are responsible for enforcing all return to care policies and implementing contact tracing within the Apple Playschools community. In general, our colleagues at the health department and the state are using these resources to guide their decision making:
- Washtenaw County Health Department Guidance, "What to do if you're sick or exposed"
- Washtenaw County Health Department Quarantine and Isolation Webinar for Parents and Guardians
- LARA "Guidance for Safe Child Care Operations During COVID-19"
- Washtenaw County Health Department Guidance for K-12 Schools (Child Care on Page 8)
