Montessori House Building Entrance Procedures Regarding Covid-19

The Montessori House remains open and available for our families’ child care needs.  We’ve been paying close attention to developments in our area, and to the recommendations and requirements for early childhood centers provided by the NJ Department of Children and Families, and the Department of Health.

As we communicated earlier, when students are at the school, we’re restricting who may enter the school building.  Basically, no one may enter other than students and staff.  As a result, we’ve posted at our door the following new Montessori House procedures.

Please let anyone who drops off or picks up students at the school know what to expect starting today, Monday, March 16th.

Montessori House Procedures Regarding Covid-19

Until further notice, please note the following new procedures:

  • We will dismiss children ONLY from the playground, via car line (if raining), or outside this door for all occasions, including regular school dismissal, early pick-up, after care, and after-school classes.
  • We will NOT be opening the door for anyone other than Montessori House staff and enrolled children to enter.  When you ring the bell, a teacher will come to the door as needed.  This may take a few minutes, so we thank you in advance for your patience.
  • Teachers will maintain a distance from parents/caregivers, so please do not ask them to have a conversation.  Feel free to contact us via text (201-816-8343, which goes to Anne Marie, Maria, and Tony) or email (maria@themontessorihouse, which goes only to Maria).
  • Parents and caregivers (and accompanying siblings) waiting with or for their children should keep their distance from others while waiting.  Also, you must hold your child’s hand the entire time going between the school and your car.

Thanks for your cooperation.  We’ll continue to keep you posted regarding changes as we all respond to new developments.
