REOPENING INFO!

Hi Everyone!  

We are so excited to be back open this upcoming week of July 6th.  Please take a look at mindbody or our "StarlightPAC" app on Android or iPhone for the latest information!  I wanted to take a moment and say thank you for your patience and understanding in the opening process as well as helping to support us online these past 4 months.   It has been a whirlwind for all of us. To ensure everyone’s safety, I wanted to make sure that we not only followed protocol but implemented what was best with our students, staff, and families in mind.

​

PLAN

These policies and procedures are being implemented to create a safer environment for both students and staff during the current pandemic crisis.  All policies and procedures are based on the recommendations of the CDC and in compliance with state and local leadership.  We will continue to monitor local conditions and recommendations and update these policies and procedures accordingly. We will be following a rigorous plan using the American Camp Association’s Field Guide, Guidlines for daycare and camps, and executive order 157 and 158 which includes social distancing, mask wearing, limited class size with in color coded 6 ft boxes, mandatory hand washing regimen, daily temperature checks, rigorous cleaning procedures,  no food or drink inside of the building, limited sips of water are allowed, and limited contact of outside persons and objects within our facility. 

Limited capacity - Do not wait to register!

Again all of these modifications are for our students, staff, and families safety and will remain in effect until regulations are lifted. Class sizes are limited to 6 students per class plus one instructor. No assistants for ages 7 and up.
