• If the Government of Alberta mandates the closure of preschools/day cares/day homes, classes will be moved online. 
• If the Government of Alberta mandates K-12 classes to be moved online, Small Sprouts Preschool will, most likely but not absolutely, follow suit.

• Students with a positive covid test cannot return to school until they have completed the quarantine period.
• Questionnaires must be filled out everyday upon entering the school.
• Hand washing policy - wash hands/sanitize at the beginning and end of class and before snack/after playing at the park, etc.. 
• Two/three cohorts attend school but do not mix - separate classes.
• Children must bring their own snack to school. Snacks or treats provided for birthdays or special parties are to be individually packaged.
• Masked parent volunteers in the classroom only as allowed by government regulations.
