Health and Safety

cute-asian-girl-happy-wearing-mask-covid

Inspire Behavioral Learning, LLC takes your health and safety seriously. We follow requirements and guidance from the California Department of Public Health (CDPH), local county and city requirements, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with the protocols below. Modifications to our health and safety protocols are made in accordance with CDPH, local, and CDC guidance.

Health and Safety for Outdoor Camps

Before Camp

For Our Staff: All of our staff provide proof of being fully vaccinated to work in person. All of our staff complete health and safety training before beginning work in person.

 

For Our Campers: If you are traveling before camp, please follow CDC guidance for travelers before camp arrival to reduce exposure to COVID-19. Campers should be familiar with and follow all state and local recommendations or requirements for their destination and the jurisdictions they pass through during travel.

Health Screening

 

Health screenings are no longer required upon arrival for sign-in. Do not bring your child to camp if your child is showing symptoms of, or has tested positive for, COVID-19 or any contagious illness. Camp staff will contact the campers’ parents/guardians and/or emergency contact to pick up the child early from camp in the event that the child shows symptoms of COVID-19 or any contagious illness.

COVID-19 symptoms:

  • Fever (temperature of 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit or higher) or chills

  • Cough (for individuals with chronic cough due to allergies or asthma, a change in their cough from baseline)

  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing (for individuals with asthma, a change from their baseline breathing)

  • Fatigue

  • Muscle or body aches

  • New onset of severe headache, especially with a fever

  • New loss of taste or smell

  • Sore throat

  • Congestion or runny nose (for individuals with chronic congestion or runny nose, a change or increase from baseline) 

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Diarrhea

No single symptom indicates someone has COVID-19, and many COVID-19 symptoms can occur when a person does not have COVID-19 or any infectious illness. Instead, we use symptom screening to determine if a student currently has an infectious illness that they might pass on to others. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. Children with these symptoms may have COVID-19 or another infectious illness and should not attend our services in person, regardless of whether the illness is COVID-19. For students with chronic conditions, a positive screening should represent a change from their typical health status.

During Camp

  • Our camp is outdoors.

  • Small group sizes: Usually 8-10 children per group.

  • Physical Distancing: Although 3-6 ft social distancing is no longer required, camp staff continue to teach and reinforce personal space boundaries.

  • Disinfecting: Camp staff disinfect high contact surfaces before and after staff and campers use them.

  • Masks: We do not require masks outdoors. Masks are optional to wear for camp participants and staff.

  • Isolation Area: Camp staff will keep a designated isolation area to separate anyone who exhibits COVID-like symptoms from others.

  • Outbreak: In the event of an outbreak, the camp will be closed, and cancellation policies in our Terms and Conditions will apply.

  • Handwashing and Hand Sanitizing: staff and campers wash their hands, use hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes with at least 60% ethanol or 70% isopropanol at the beginning and end of each camp day and in the following circumstances:

    • Before and after eating food

    • After using the restroom, blowing their noses, coughing, or sneezing

    • When washing hands, staff and campers do so for a minimum of 20 seconds and clean under the fingernails as well. 

  • Preventing Crowds From Gathering: 8:30 AM-9:00 AM drop-off times and 4:00 PM-4:30 PM pick-up times allow for staggered arrival, and camp staff use physical markers where possible to establish physical distance between families at drop-off and pick-up times.

  • Covering Coughs and Sneezes: Campers and staff cover their mouths and noses with a tissue when coughing or sneezing or use the inside of their elbows, and throw used tissues in the trash. 

 

Health and Safety for In-Home Services

  • Symptom Checks: All customers and employees are advised to cancel in-person sessions if they are showing symptoms of COVID-19 or any other contagious illness. The sessions may be rescheduled online.

  • Cleaning and Disinfecting: For in-home services, we ask that clients provide a clean and sanitized work area for our service providers while they work with clients. The designated space(s) the child and staff will be using at the child’s home must be thoroughly disinfected with CDC-approved cleaning products before and after each session on the day of the session, to include the restroom that the staff will be using. The designated space(s) and any changes in designated space(s) the child and staff will be using must be communicated to the staff before the onset of services, and any newly designated space(s) must be disinfected as indicated above. Our staff agree to disinfect all high-contact surfaces and items at the start and end of sessions.

  • Handwashing and Hand Sanitizing: All customers and employees are advised to wash their hands, use hand sanitizer or sanitizing wipes with at least 60% ethanol or 70% isopropanol at the beginning and end of each session and in the following circumstances, based on the CDC page https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/prevention.html:

    • Before eating or preparing food 

    • Before touching your face

    • After using the restroom

    • After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing

    • After handling your cloth face covering

    • After changing a diaper

    • After caring for someone sick

    • After touching animals or pets

    • Additionally, our staff will not engage in the following during sessions: consume or prepare food or drinks, change diapers, and care for someone sick. When washing hands, do so for a minimum of 20 seconds and clean under the fingernails as well. If our staff will be washing hands in your bathroom, our staff agree to use a tissue, paper towel, or wipe to turn off the faucet, turn off the light, and open/close the bathroom door after hand washing instead of using their bare hands.

  • Masks: Masks are optional at this time.

  • Covering Coughs and Sneezes: Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow and do not spit. Throw used tissues in the trash. Our staff agree to follow these same terms.

  • Cancellations: Cancel sessions by contacting the Company and staff in the event of anyone in your household being exposed to someone with COVID-19 or anyone in your household showing symptoms of COVID-19, including a fever of 100.4 or higher, or symptoms of any other illness. Our staff agree to follow these same terms.

 

Additional terms our staff follow:
