COVID-19 Protocols: 
We are following Multnomah County guidelines & Oregon Early Learning Division recommendations. Being a mostly outdoors program, we want our space to be a safe space for students to learn and practice proper mask etiquette. Young learners make mistakes as they grow and develop new skills, so it's natural to assume that this will happen while also tackling mask skills. We ask that the families who join our program and community respect this opportunity for student growth and are mindful and considerate of their activities outside of our program to keep everyone in our community and school safe.
School-age distance learning support: 
No
