Policies & Procedures

Mask requirements are subject to revision by notice from the Board of Directors, based on Asbury’s COVID-19 Policy. Asbury will follow the CDC Community Guidelines for wearing masks. When levels in Delaware County are low or medium, masks may be worn at each family’s discretion. When levels in Delaware County are high, Asbury UMC - and DCP, as its tenant - will require masks. Additionally, anyone having recently been exposed to COVID-19 must wear a mask; more guidance here: https://www.delawarehealth.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/DPHD-General-Public-Guidance-For-Close-Contacts.pdf.

All families, staff, and volunteers are required to confirm they are symptom-free at check-in.

Classroom volunteers must arrive by 9:00 AM for Preschool and by 9:15 AM for Toddler Time.

DCP doors will be locked once all students are inside, promptly at 9:30 AM. If you arrive after the doors are locked, you can call the DCP office, and a staff member will meet you.

Windows will be opened and air purifiers running to help ventilate the classrooms.

Handwashing and/or hand sanitizing will be required upon entrance into the classroom, before and after snack/lunch, and periodically throughout the class period.

Students wearing masks will be supported by staff and volunteers, and breaks will be provided upon request.

Classroom volunteers are responsible for completing a daily cleaning checklist.

Each Friday is a deep cleaning day, undertaken by the DCP cleaning committee. 

Any cases of communicable illness within the DCP community will be immediately communicated to both our members and the Delaware County Health Department. All Health Department protocols and directions will be strictly followed. Any student showing symptoms while at DCP will be isolated, and a caregiver will be contacted for pick up.
