Dear Friends and Families of Cradle Beach,
Cradle Beach has been closely monitoring the local, state, and federal guidance regarding the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The health and safety of our staff, families, children, volunteers and all community partners is, and has always remained, our utmost priority. Our leadership team has established a COVID-19 Preparation and Response Committee to address safety planning, continuity of business and the implications from this public health crisis. Emergency Remote Work Arrangements are also being devised where applicable.
In addition, Cradle Beach has taken the following precautionary actions:
- Strict adherence to sick leave policy and procedures including staying home when not feeling well and encouraging recommendations from the Erie County Department of Health, NY State Department of Health and Center for Disease Control
- Postponed programming, events, volunteer groups and large team meetings through April 30th
- Implemented required COVID-19 prescreening of visitors
- Elevated personal care measures (including frequent hand washing and availability of preventive supplies including alcohol-based hand sanitizer) and heightened attention to self-care
- Social Distancing- avoiding large gatherings of people, staying six feet away from others where possible and avoiding contact with people who are sick and/or compromised
- Heightened sanitization and cleaning procedures including cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces, including but not limited to all hard surfaces, areas of high traffic, phones and computers
