Hello Parents and Staff,

​

The covid-19 pandemic has created a truly unprecedented situation that affects us all. Our hearts go out to anyone who’s been impacted by the virus, either directly or indirectly. During this time, we want to reach out and update you on the situation as it relates to One to Grow On And One To Grow On 2.

​

Like most organizations, we are doing our best to secure the health and well-being of all the children and the employees. Our employees have been strongly encouraged to minimize their personal travel and social interactions with the public. This shift has fortunately been relatively smooth and has had very little impact on our ability to deliver quality child care. However, no one is totally immune to this virus.

​

We take the safety of the children and the entire staff seriously. Twice a week deep-cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitation are performed, in addition to daily cleaning and sanitation of both center locations. Our plan follows that of the CDC’s guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting, and in accordance with the guidelines set by the St. Louis County Health Department.

​

Moments like this should remind us that we’re all connected. We’re called upon to be our best selves, with patience, understanding, and compassion. Despite the many difficulties we all face, I’d like to reassure you that One To Grow On and 2 remains fully committed to doing everything we can to support you through this difficult time, and on behalf of the team, wish you well. 

​

Sincerely, 

Steven Bolds
