B. Daily Screening Prior to Entering Junction Daycare
At this time, Toronto Public Health (TPH) has recommended that only staff and children enter the centre and that all others, such as parent/guardians of children and delivery persons be met at the door.
Many of you who returned with us in August 2020 were following the daily screening checks conducted daily, which included temperature taking and a questionnaire. Since then the recommendations from TPH have changed in which we are no longer required to take temperatures of children, and all families will be required to pre-screen at home prior to entry to the building. You must answer “no” to all questions for your child(ren) to enter the building.
