Thursday, 03/12/2020: One Child Response to COVID-19

Dear One Child Community,

With the announcement of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) infection as a Pandemic, we wanted to take this moment to communicate to our One Child families that we are mindfully and intentionally staying informed using reliable news sources; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html), and the Virginia Department of Health (http://www.vdh.virginia.gov). One Child has made the follow decisions regarding our services given the current climate.

Kids’ Night:

One Child has made the difficult decision to cancel Kids’ Night scheduled for March 21, 2020. Unfortunately, numerous participants have underlying conditions that make them high-risk for infection if they were to be exposed. One Child anticipated nearly 200 participants at March’s Kids’ Night between children, volunteers, and staff from localities all over the Peninsula; with this broad reach, One Child decided the risk was too great. We will assess in April whether we can safely proceed with Kids’ Night next month.

Center-Based & In-Home Activities:

One Child intends at this time to stay open for center-based (social skills groups, occupational therapy, ABA, and social clubs) and in-home therapy services, even if schools close. Many of the practices that One Child has in place to prevent our staff and families from spreading other contagious illnesses, such as the flu, are also being used to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.  Frequent handwashing, reminding children to cough into their arm when possible, use of approved sanitation solutions to disinfect learning environments are all happening several times throughout the day. 

We know this can be a stressful time for our families. One Child is working to ensure consistency for our families while also remaining vigilant in staying up to date with all local and national recommendations regarding business closures.

Sincerely,

Julie Cullifer,  Executive Director
