Our Approach to Safety
A cornerstone of our program is COVID safety. Our Safety Operations Plan (SOP)* is in full compliance with CDC guidelines. Dr. Donna Hallas, Director of the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Program at NYU, is advising us in this area. All pods will have:
Classrooms professionally sanitized daily
State of the art HVAC systems and hepa air filters
Properly socially distanced (6 feet between students and 40 sq ft of space per child in each room)
Abundant PPE
Pod mates are from the same school, same grade and cohort to minimize interactions and keep the "bubble" small;
Required to wear face masks all day (except for lunch and water breaks)
Spend time outside as much as possible
*Available upon request.
