EXTENDED EDUCATION
ECCP – Summer Program
Overview
The WBC Emergency Child Care Program – Summer Program operates out of White Birch Center. Children entering 1st grade and older are eligible to enroll in the ECCP Summer Program.
As an ECCP, we can only provide care for essential workers. An essential worker is anyone who works for an essential business. We have limited capacity based on rules not allowing more than 10 individuals (children and adults) together in a room. There are also many other changes which are listed below. All families attending will be required to review and sign off on several forms that indicate they are an essential worker and they understand our new rules.
While we are happy to be open, we also have had to adjust to new standards for care in the COVID-19 environment and we also need for our parents to adjust their expectations of what child care means during the pandemic. For example, it is possible that with little notice, a classroom may need to temporarily close if staff are sick and not available. One other example, we cannot provide meals at this time.
Our classroom provides:
A safe and nurturing environment, friendly teaching staff, consistent classroom management, and current First Aid / CPR certified teaching staff.

Use of Fever Reducing Medications
Any fever reducing medications (Tylenol, Motrin, etc.) will not be allowed to be administered during care hours. In addition, if Tylenol or Motrin (or any other medication) is given as a fever reducer, your child will not be permitted to attend childcare. If it is given, it will present an ineffective screening tool and one of the few screening tools we have this is independent of the parent or screener. Please do not provide Tylenol or ibuprofen at least 4 to 6 hours prior to arrival at child care.
