Thank you for your continued support of the Horizon Education Centers.
Children are not permitted to bring anything from home except their learning devices. This includes water bottles and toys.
We have removed all soft material that cannot be sanitized like stuffed animals, cloth dolls and puppets.
Horizon no longer allows children to eat meals family-style. Horizon’s food specialist will bring individually-plated meals to the classroom door on a cart. Your child’s teacher will distribute the food to each child.
Cots for napping will be socially distanced and children will sleep head to toe.
Large group activities like field trips, graduation ceremonies and assemblies have been postponed.
Playground space outdoors will be scheduled by each classroom to maintain social distance between students.
COVID-19 masking requirements from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family Services have changed.
All verified, fully-vaccinated Horizon Education Center employees are no longer required to wear a mask.
Unverified vaccinated, partially vaccinated, and unvaccinated employees will be required to wear masks at all times.
Vaccinated employees will also receive a red and yellow ribbon pin. This is to let you and your children know that they are vaccinated and can safely go without a mask.
Horizon Education Centers pandemic hours of operation are 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday – Friday.
We will allow 1 parent in the building for drop off and pick up.
One parent is now allowed into the building.
Please call prior to your arrival so that we can have your child ready to go when you arrive. This will limit your time inside the building.
A bleach solution will be used on all hard surfaces and will be allowed to air dry.
If you child becomes sick while at the center, your child will be taken from the classroom to the staff lounge. A staff member will remain with him/her until a parent arrives to pick them up.
For more information on our sanitation procedures please contact your child’s center directly.
If your child has a fever, we ask that your child stay home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without medication before they return to Horizon.
All staff have been trained in communicable diseases which is a licensing requirement through the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
