Inkster Parent Child Coalition
IPCC is offering a combination of in-person groups with limited registration, and our Playcation and Mini Chef packages.
At in-person programs:
All families are screened prior to the start of the program and everyone over the age of 5, is required to wear masks. Children and caregivers hands will be sanitized when entering and leaving the program. Equipment will be sanitized prior to the program, as well as spray bottles of sanitizer will be made available during the program for use as needed.
At gym programs-Each family will have an area of the gym, with their own matt and equipment designated for them. For the first half of program, caregivers will participate in a planned physical activity, and an art or small motor activity, with their child. For the second half of the program we will all participate in circle time songs and rhymes together, with each families mat serving as their designated “spot”.
At outdoor programs-When using equipment children play at play stations, with children sanitizing their hands between each station. During circle time songs, we will use hula-hoops as visual cues for social distancing.
At the end of group, families will receive a take-out snack to-go.
Families are encouraged to use the washroom before they leave home, to limit contact with high touch surfaces.
