Safety remains our first priority for your children and COVID-19 presents unique challenges to our summer program. Our traditional Summer XDC Camp has been modified to keep children and staff healthy. The XDC will be following the guidelines set out by the Washington State Department of Health, in order to reduce the risk of virus transmission between children and staff. This guidance focuses on practices for children in childcare settings and seeks to lower the risk for the spread of COVID-19. We respectfully request you to consider the following before sending your child to summer XDC:

    • The more people interact with others from outside their own household, the closer that interaction, and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID-19 spread.
    • Families who are able to safely keep their children at home should continue to do so, if possible.
    • These guidelines set forth by XDC are subject to change at any time based on government or local health department recommendations.

COVID-19 Guidelines and Procedures

Safety Measures

    • Staff will be wearing masks at all times. Students are also required to wear face coverings. Any student or staff with a physical limitation that makes mask removal difficult are not required to wear face coverings.
    • There will be no last-minute, day-of, drop-ins. Parents must pre-register for summer.
    • Children will be screened daily. Students showing signs of illness or will not be admitted to Extended Daycare.

Pick-up/drop-off Procedure

    • The parent or guardian should take the child’s temperature at home before departure for XDC.
    • The parent dropping a student off should also be the parent to pick-up each day, when possible. Parents will not be granted entry to the XDC building. A staff member will meet you and your child at the designated drop-off area on N. 80th St.
    • The parent should call XDC staff (206-782-9915) to arrange for drop-off and pick-up in the designated area.
    • At drop-off and pick-up times with the child’s family, staff will keep at least a 6-foot distance.
    • Children will be screened daily before entry, at mid-day, and at pick-up. Students showing signs of illness or answering “yes” to any screening questions will not be admitted to Extended Day Care.
