2021-2022 COVID Guidelines

New Haven United Methodist Preschool

ISOLATION GUIDANCE

Isolation: Infected person must stay home for 10 days from their onset of symptoms. If asymptomatic they must be tested on day 5 (following positive test)

• The child must have a test on day 5 to return on day 6 because the ages of the children in our facility DOES NOT allow them to come back and strictly where a mask for days 6-10.

• If symptomatic, they must stay out for ten days due to our inability to mask.

QUARANTINE GUIDANCE

Quarantine: A person who has been identified as a close contact to an infected person 

If person is unvaccinated or partially vaccinated:

• Must stay home for 5 days after last day of exposure to a positive case.

• May return to school/daycare on day 6 with a NEGATIVE test on day 5. (if you do not want your child tested, they must stay out 10 days)

• If the child is exposed to a caregiver in the household that tests positive, their 5 day quarantine will NOT begin until the caregiver’s 10 day quarantine is up.

• If symptoms develop, get tested and stay home. If positive follow isolation guidance. If negative, return when symptoms are resolved.

*We understand that this is a stressful and difficult time for everyone, please work with us as we continue to try and provide the safest, most healthy environment for our kids and staff.
