00:09.630 --> 00:11.797
Hi , I'm Jason Natural , the child new

00:11.797 --> 00:13.797
services coordinator for the United

00:13.797 --> 00:15.741
States Army Garrison Ryland Faults

00:17.600 --> 00:20.490
after being closed , our services ,

00:20.490 --> 00:22.650
suspended since the mid March , were

00:22.730 --> 00:24.980
finally able to reopen some spaces and

00:24.980 --> 00:26.869
start providing child care to the

00:26.869 --> 00:28.869
community . Starting on the 15th of

00:28.869 --> 00:32.840
June , we've been working really

00:32.840 --> 00:34.784
closely with our public health all

00:34.784 --> 00:36.951
along with this reopening and planning

00:36.951 --> 00:39.080
and and following the recommendations

00:39.080 --> 00:41.260
and new recommendations from C . Y s

00:41.540 --> 00:43.484
and preventive measures for Kobe ,

00:43.484 --> 00:45.540
there's a couple things that limited

00:45.540 --> 00:47.373
our ability toe be able to offer

00:47.373 --> 00:49.373
everybody a space that was enrolled

00:49.373 --> 00:51.540
with us before . So how we're doing

00:51.540 --> 00:53.651
this is there was limited spaces that

00:53.651 --> 00:55.890
we are able to offer are going to be

00:55.900 --> 00:57.567
We're gonna use the D . O . D

00:57.570 --> 00:59.860
established priority system for care .

01:00.230 --> 01:02.008
So that means there was highest

01:02.008 --> 01:04.320
priorities . I go to Children from

01:04.320 --> 01:06.598
families with the C . Y s staff member ,

01:06.740 --> 01:09.690
a single or dual military family . So

01:09.690 --> 01:11.770
those air the people will be calling

01:11.770 --> 01:14.760
first to offer those spaces and whether

01:14.760 --> 01:17.760
those spaces air then accepted or

01:17.770 --> 01:19.770
spaces that we have may left over .

01:19.770 --> 01:21.548
Then we would go want toe other

01:21.548 --> 01:25.510
categories while we would love

01:25.520 --> 01:27.353
to bring everybody back that was

01:27.353 --> 01:29.790
enrolled with us when we suspended

01:29.790 --> 01:32.070
services back in March . What's most

01:32.070 --> 01:33.681
important is making sure our

01:33.681 --> 01:35.792
environments are safe and healthy for

01:35.792 --> 01:37.848
staff and Children and families . So

01:37.880 --> 01:39.936
there's a couple things that I think

01:39.936 --> 01:41.880
that are important for families to

01:41.880 --> 01:43.991
Noah's . They start coming back . One

01:43.991 --> 01:47.080
is with this with social distancing and

01:47.080 --> 01:49.400
the regulations and recommendations on

01:49.400 --> 01:52.210
maximum group size . Parents will see

01:52.210 --> 01:54.210
that in all the classrooms that are

01:54.210 --> 01:57.070
open , I'm only one ratio group of one

01:57.070 --> 01:59.070
group of Children where we normally

01:59.070 --> 02:01.840
would have to . Onda also were really

02:01.840 --> 02:04.890
sticking to having a maximum group size

02:04.890 --> 02:08.820
of 10 . So what you will see is eight

02:08.820 --> 02:11.520
Children preschool age , school aged

02:11.520 --> 02:14.620
Children with two caregivers so that we

02:14.620 --> 02:18.360
keep to that 10 person maximum . The

02:18.360 --> 02:20.471
other important thing is , ah , heavy

02:20.471 --> 02:23.350
emphasis on sanitation and daily

02:23.350 --> 02:26.980
cleaning . We have additional staff

02:27.560 --> 02:30.290
that will be helping us with that . So

02:30.290 --> 02:32.740
it's more aggressive cleaning before we

02:32.740 --> 02:35.720
open , and also when we close and then

02:35.720 --> 02:37.498
throughout the day they will be

02:37.650 --> 02:39.650
cleaning , particularly in the high

02:39.650 --> 02:42.780
touch areas and of the facility door

02:42.780 --> 02:44.613
knobs . Things like that will be

02:44.613 --> 02:47.330
ongoing to include playground equipment

02:48.070 --> 02:50.181
during the day . So we make sure that

02:50.181 --> 02:52.403
when when one group of Children may use

02:52.403 --> 02:54.626
the equipment before another group uses

02:54.626 --> 02:57.150
it , that that's cleaned so real heavy

02:57.150 --> 03:00.030
emphasis and focus on those sanitation

03:00.030 --> 03:03.750
and health procedures Um , another big

03:03.750 --> 03:06.330
one that parents will we'll see when we

03:06.330 --> 03:09.690
come back is our exclusion criteria ,

03:09.690 --> 03:12.730
meaning parents that have been with

03:12.730 --> 03:15.420
this are familiar with the symptoms .

03:15.420 --> 03:17.310
That or the health condition of

03:17.310 --> 03:19.800
Children before we accept care . And

03:19.800 --> 03:21.911
it's gonna be stricter now because of

03:21.911 --> 03:24.780
because of the pandemic . So you know ,

03:24.790 --> 03:28.010
if your child has any kind of symptom

03:28.010 --> 03:30.121
of illness , or you suspect that they

03:30.121 --> 03:31.954
may be ill , we really encourage

03:31.954 --> 03:33.899
parents to keep them home that day

03:33.899 --> 03:35.954
until they're healthy enough to come

03:35.954 --> 03:38.066
back to care . We will . Parents will

03:38.066 --> 03:40.980
see as they come back , Um , our staff

03:40.990 --> 03:43.450
will be asking them questions how their

03:43.450 --> 03:45.960
child is feeling . We will ask parents

03:45.960 --> 03:48.127
to make sure that they're taking their

03:48.127 --> 03:50.349
child's temperature before they come to

03:50.349 --> 03:52.516
care , and so just all in an effort to

03:52.516 --> 03:54.516
make sure that when when a child is

03:54.516 --> 03:56.404
with us that we know that they're

03:56.404 --> 03:58.404
healthy for the safety of the other

03:58.404 --> 04:00.627
Children that air in care as well . And

04:00.627 --> 04:02.460
I think the last big change that

04:02.460 --> 04:04.590
parents will see as they come back is

04:04.590 --> 04:07.350
in our drop off and pick up procedures .

04:08.000 --> 04:10.111
Each of the facilities will do this a

04:10.111 --> 04:12.278
little differently , just based on how

04:12.278 --> 04:14.500
they're built and where the parking lot

04:14.500 --> 04:16.490
is . But , um , the one thing that

04:16.490 --> 04:18.546
we're really being restrictive of is

04:18.546 --> 04:21.000
people coming into the classroom and

04:21.000 --> 04:23.280
even going as far as a certain point in

04:23.280 --> 04:25.480
the facility . So where parents are

04:25.480 --> 04:27.480
used to being able to come into the

04:27.480 --> 04:29.702
classroom , talking with our caregivers

04:29.702 --> 04:31.591
and dropping off their Children ,

04:31.690 --> 04:34.560
they'll see as we start in on the 15th

04:34.560 --> 04:36.727
of June . And as long as public health

04:36.727 --> 04:40.280
recommends this that those procedures

04:40.280 --> 04:44.250
will be abbreviated to basically

04:44.250 --> 04:46.472
discourage parents from coming into the

04:46.472 --> 04:49.020
room and maybe staying at the lobby ,

04:49.020 --> 04:51.076
and we would we would then talk with

04:51.076 --> 04:53.242
apparent there and then take the child

04:53.242 --> 04:55.360
back into classroom . Um , or even

04:55.360 --> 04:57.471
there's a few areas in our school age

04:57.471 --> 04:59.693
program where we would do we would meet

04:59.693 --> 05:01.916
the Children , the parents at their car

05:01.916 --> 05:03.916
and then the Children would come in

05:03.916 --> 05:05.971
with us But really , it is all in an

05:05.971 --> 05:08.082
abundance of caution and to make sure

05:08.082 --> 05:10.193
that the environment that we have for

05:10.193 --> 05:10.060
the Children is contained and

05:10.060 --> 05:11.838
controlled , safe and healthy .

05:14.660 --> 05:16.660
Our parents are great and we'll see

05:16.660 --> 05:18.771
them . Israel . Great partners , they

05:18.771 --> 05:20.771
always have been . And we just need

05:20.771 --> 05:23.040
that partnership to continue patience

05:23.040 --> 05:25.262
and understanding . I mean , these some

05:25.262 --> 05:27.484
of these new procedures are things that

05:27.484 --> 05:29.810
are new to us . And we're getting used

05:29.810 --> 05:32.600
to say that first week of trying these

05:32.600 --> 05:34.489
things out , we'll learn a lot of

05:34.489 --> 05:36.656
things . And so just that patience and

05:36.656 --> 05:38.433
understanding from parents that

05:38.433 --> 05:40.656
ultimately we just We just want this to

05:40.656 --> 05:42.822
be a safe and engaging place for their

05:42.822 --> 05:46.250
Children and try and use these measures

05:46.250 --> 05:48.770
the best we can . Secondly , will be

05:48.770 --> 05:52.050
flexibility , um , the

05:52.060 --> 05:55.290
guidance . As far as as the pandemic

05:55.300 --> 05:58.830
threat , the pandemic fades . Or as it

05:58.840 --> 06:00.784
comes and goes , the guidance also

06:00.784 --> 06:04.080
changes . So what ? Maybe one procedure

06:04.090 --> 06:06.650
one day it could change quickly . So

06:06.650 --> 06:08.940
just that flexibility and understanding

06:08.940 --> 06:12.130
there and then really again going on

06:12.130 --> 06:14.230
patients Right now , it is a limited

06:14.230 --> 06:16.920
amount of parents that will be able to

06:16.920 --> 06:20.120
serve . But our motivation is to get

06:20.130 --> 06:22.352
everybody back and care at some point .

06:22.680 --> 06:24.902
That was with us when we have suspended

06:24.902 --> 06:26.847
services back in March . So we are

06:26.847 --> 06:29.500
working hard and that's our goal . And

06:29.500 --> 06:31.556
as we work with public health and as

06:31.556 --> 06:33.690
the guidance changes , that's where

06:33.690 --> 06:35.746
that's where we want to go . So just

06:35.746 --> 06:37.912
patients and understanding that we are

06:37.912 --> 06:40.023
trying our best to get everybody back

06:40.023 --> 06:41.690
in care as soon as possible ,

06:41.690 --> 06:45.670
way of the best staff and Army

06:45.670 --> 06:49.610
and being , um , not able to serve

06:49.610 --> 06:51.810
the families like we love to do in

06:51.810 --> 06:53.866
these last couple of months has been

06:53.866 --> 06:55.866
really tough . Our staff there have

06:55.866 --> 06:57.810
been resilient and have found ways

06:57.810 --> 06:59.866
creative ways to remain connected to

06:59.866 --> 07:01.866
our families with different virtual

07:01.866 --> 07:03.921
meetings and all the virtual content

07:03.921 --> 07:06.880
that's been on our Facebook page . So

07:06.890 --> 07:09.810
it really is a testament to how much

07:09.810 --> 07:13.670
their heart is into serving families

07:13.670 --> 07:15.781
and making a positive difference with

07:15.781 --> 07:18.003
their Children . So they are anxious to

07:18.003 --> 07:20.059
get back . They're eager to get back

07:20.059 --> 07:22.281
and start seeing the families that they

07:22.281 --> 07:24.281
strive to build great relationships

07:24.281 --> 07:25.850
with so they can't wait

07:25.940 --> 07:29.590
way

07:29.590 --> 07:31.730
excited to get back to doing what we

07:31.730 --> 07:34.830
love to do best . I'm 15th of June and

07:34.830 --> 07:36.663
we really look forward to seeing

07:36.663 --> 07:38.910
everybody eventually back in our care
