New Cleaning & Disinfecting Procedures
New Cleaning & Disinfecting Procedures at The Little Gym of Winchester
The health, wellness, and comfort level of The Little Gym of Winchester families and team members is our top priority, now and always. Following the instructions from the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), we are making considerable changes to the way our facility is disinfected, to make it so fresh and so clean, clean! We know that many families already recognize The Little Gym as the cleanest place you can bring your child, and now more than ever, we will stay true to that sentiment.
New Cleaning Standards: We are now using Simply Green D Pro 5 disinfectant, a CDC and EPA approved cleaning solution, to clean and disinfect our facility.
- We will be cleaning and disinfecting the gym and gym equipment before, during, and after each class.
- We will be cleaning and disinfecting the Multipurpose room after each use.
- Bathrooms will be wiped down with disinfectant between classes and will be fully cleaned and disinfected mid and end of each day.
- The lobby area will be wiped down with disinfectant between classes and will be fully cleaned and disinfected mid and end of each day.
Hand Washing Regulations: We are now implementing hand washing before and after each class. Parents and children will be asked to wash hands when entering the facility and directly proceeding class.
Team Member Masks: To ensure the health, safety, and comfortability of our team members, you may see our instructors wearing masks while in the lobby, conducting class, or spotting children on the gym equipment. Parents are required to wear masks in Parent/Child classes or in the lobby area.
Parent Sock Policy: In Parent/Child classes we are now asking all parents to wear socks inside the gym. Little ones will still be required to remain barefoot for safety on and around the equipment inside the gym.
Thank you, The Little Gym families for continuing to support us. We assure you that we are taking all necessary measures highlighted by the CDC and EPA to ensure that The Little Gym is, and will continue to be, the cleanest place for all families and team members.
We also realize that some of our members may make the decision to continue social distancing and stay out of public areas over the course of the next few weeks and we understand and respect that decision. No matter what you decide is best for your family, we are here for you! We'll continue to offer The Little Gym at Home Virtual LIVE lessons on Facebook, to help keep your kiddos moving, learning, and having fun while at home. The Little Gym at Home is designed to provide your family with the flexibility you need without having to sacrifice your child’s ongoing physical development.
Facilities and In-Gym Updates
On Line Waivers:
We have updated our waiver as of the Summer 2020 Session! We ask that you Click Here to update your waiver prior to coming back to the gym.
Facility Updates:
We also ask you to ring the doorbell so a team member can greet you. We will be checking everyone’s temperature when they arrive at the gym. If your temperature is 100.4 degrees we will gladly schedule a make-up class or camp day.
We also ask that The Little Gym families do not enter the facilities more than 5 minutes before their scheduled class and do not remain in the building more than 5 minutes post class to ensure that our team can properly clean and disinfect our facility before the next class.
We have made a few temporary changes to our lobby to help support social distancing. These changes include “spot markers” on our floors to help parents and kids to remain 6 feet apart, limited seating and removal of all toys to limit close contact with others. We will be asking all parents of Pre/K and Grade school students not to enter the building. We will escort all children into the building after a temperature check for drop-off. At the end of the class, please text us to let us know you are here and a Team Member will escort your child to you.
In-Gym Updates:
Under the recommendations from the CDC and the State of Virginia we will be limiting the number of children and parents in each class to adhere to Social Distancing Guidelines.
- Parent/Child Classes: 7 families and 1 instructor (this allows one parent per child in the gym).
- Pre/K and Grade School Classes: 12 children and 2 instructors.
Rather than our traditional high-five, we will be limiting contact with Air 5”s, Jazz Hands or other fun contact-less ways to celebrate your child’s accomplishments in class.
Drinking water: We encourage all students to bring a clearly labeled water bottle to class as we will be closing our drinking fountain for the time being.
Campers: We ask each camper to bring from home all nut-free snacks, lunches and drinks.
