Crosskids Daycare Ministry “Jumping Up and Down”

April 3, 2020 Letter to Parents

4/3/20 

Dear Parents, many have asked how we are doing.  So far, we are open and doing fine.  Checking temperatures and cleaning, cleaning, and more cleaning. 
 
Since we cannot sing Sunday in the worship service we video taped the ones who are coming and it will be played this Sunday at 10:30 on Facebook Live  https://www.facebook.com/LafayetteCCC/ or go to www.crossroadschristianchurch.net , click on the Live Service Feed Facebook link to watch.  
Your child can see some of their friends and sing along.  Then you can all watch the service together. 
After this you can go to the Children’s Ministry link where I use the “resurrection Eggs” to tell the story of Easter through the surprise of each egg.  They are done in 2 egg segments so start on Monday and finish on Saturday.  Then next week, Easter Sunday, watch the live stream again and there will be a children’s lesson all about Easter.  We may not be able to get together, but we can still celebrate Easter and all remember “JESUS IS ALIVE”.
 
For those of you who have paid tuition, thank you so much.  You can still pay through the mail or bill pay through your bank or drop off a check at the daycare.  As always, let me know of any changes and we will see you when this is all behind us. 
 
In HIS service,
MaryAnne Duff

A Letter To Parents Regarding The Covid-19 Virus 

Dear Parents, With the closing of schools and the advisories that have come from the State of Indiana, we will stay open with the following protocols:
  • No Parents will enter the classroom. All children will be checked by a teacher at the door for a fever.  If your child is running a fever (over 99.0) he/she will be sent home.  If your child is not running a fever, he/she will be admitted into the classroom.  Parents are to ring the bell and a teacher will bring your child and belongings out to you.
  • We will stay open as long as we do not have a confirmed case. If we have a confirmed case of COVI19 we will immediately close and give you further details that have been given to us by the Tippecanoe Health Department.

This being said, we will continue our program as we would during any school break.  Please let us know if your child will be coming on Monday, March 16th – 31st.  We totally understand if you want to keep your child home during this time.

We are not fearful knowing that God is still in control, but we are taking every caution to keep us all healthy. 
 
Thank you for your cooperation.
Mrs. Duff

 A Letter Regarding April Tuition

Dear Parents,

With the current conditions it looks like we will be continuing our protocols that we have instituted.  Many of you have asked what we can do for the Month of April to maintain your spot in the daycare (if you are currently not using it) but ease the financial burden through this current crisis.

  • If you are using the daycare you will pay as usual the full time or daily rate, depending upon what you use.
  • If you are not using the daycare at this time, you may use your one (1) week vacation and we will credit you for one additional week. In short, you will pay ½ of your normal tuition.  This will keep your spot in the daycare and allow us to stay operational with minimal staffing.

We are not fearful knowing that God is still in control, but we are taking every caution to keep us all healthy and to financially weather this present storm together.  Please let me know what your plans are for next week.  I will be sending out your tuition invoice via e-mail next week.

 Thank you for your cooperation & patience.  Mrs. Duff
