Safer Together
Kids in the Game Programming
Before sending your child to Kids in the Game programs, we want to make sure you understand that in light of the current medical, legal and economic conditions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, and recognizing that these conditions are subject to ever evolving change, you are sending your child to the program under the following conditions.
1. While we wish that we could control every possible risk, and while we will make every effort to keep your child safe from the COVID 19 virus and other communicable diseases, we want to make clear that we cannot promise or guarantee that this or any other pathogen will not enter the program, and that by the very nature of the personal interaction that takes place in the program environment, there is always a risk of your child becoming ill with this or any other communicable disease. We want you to be fully aware of this risk in making the decision to send your child to the program, and that you are willing to assume and accept it on your child’s behalf.
2. Our efforts to keep your child safe starts at home. We are asking more than ever for your partnership and honesty when dropping your child off each day. It is important that all health information shared be as accurate as possible, to the best of your knowledge, to help keep all participants, staff, and families safe. Keep your child home if they are exhibiting any symptoms of Covid-19 and communicate that with your program staff. Also alert administration if you or anyone in your household is exhibiting symptoms of Covid-19.
3. We believe in our ability to operate in a manner that meets our safety standards as well as those of the CDC, ACA, New York State, and New York City Departments of Health. Just as these guidelines have evolved over the past few months, they will continue to evolve. We will communicate any changes City, State, or Federal guidance has on Kids in the Game policies and procedures throughout the season.
As we know, COVID-19 will be with us for the foreseeable future. No matter what procedures and protocols are put in place, there is simply no way to guarantee that COVID-19 or any other pathogen or communicable disease will not enter the program. By the very nature of the personal interactions that take place in the program environment, there is always a risk of your child contracting this or any other disease or infection. And again, we will do everything within our power to keep your child healthy and safe.
I hereby acknowledge that I have read and understand the points as described herein.
