At Elite M.A. Centers, the safety of our students, team members, and their families is of utmost importance. We have been working diligently with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as our state and local health authorities to determine how to create the safest environment for anyone who enters our facilities. We will implement guidelines put in place for social distancing, sanitization, and best practices to continue to make the safety of our EMA Community the top priority.
Below are some highlighted of the changes that we're implementing to create a safe and positive environment for those in our studios.
Members Safety
Health Assessment
Prior to entering our schools, members will be asked to self-assess their health and the health of their children. If anyone is not feeling well, has a fever, shortness of breath or any COVID-19 like symptoms, or has recently been exposed to anyone with COVID-19, we ask that they cancel their appointment. Makeups, credits, and/or refunds will be provided as needed to ensure members who are not feeling well can stay home and rest up. Touchless temperature checks will also be required for camp and classroom participants.
When an unvaccinated individual is exposed to someone that recently tested positive for Covid-19, we require a negative Covid test before returning to any of our programs.
Personal Protective Equipment for Members
Face masks that cover the mouth and nose are required for anyone who have not been fully vaccinated for Covid 19. Masks are still required for participants in our after-school and camp programs.
Curbside Drop Off/Pick Up and Member Distancing
To limit the number of people inside our facilities, families accompanying students are asked to stay in their cars and drop off/pick up curbside when ever it is possible. A member of our team will assist with this process, especially for our youngest members. When inside the facilities, campers will be kept in small groups, with social distancing markers in place.
No Shared Equipment
As much as possible, there will be no shared items at the school. Any shared items will be disinfected between use. Each student will be given their own cubby for their belonging.
Team Safety
Health Assessment
Following state and local direction, team members will be evaluated prior to each shift, and anyone who is not feeling well, has a fever, shortness of breath, or any COVID-19 like symptoms will not be permitted to work in the school. Touchless temperature checks will also be required for camp and classroom participants. Fully vaccinated staff members can choose to wear masks when inside our facilities when they are not working with camp or after-school groups. When an unvaccinated individual is exposed to someone that recently tested positive for Covid-19, we require a negative Covid test before returning to any of our programs.
No Shared Equipment
There will be limited shared equipment, as much as possible. Anything that is shared will be disinfected between uses.
Facility Safety
Increased Facility Cleaning & Sanitation Stations
Regular cleaning will be conducted by our staff members throughout the day using professional grade disinfectant, with increased attention to high traffic areas and commonly touched facility elements. Our centers will also continue to provide hand soaps and hand sanitizer, with increased availability in key areas of the facility.
Removal of Commonly Shared Amenities
We ask that all members bring their own water bottles. We also will limit sharing of items, and will disinfect anything that is shared before the next person uses it.
After-School & Camp Safety
Transportation
Seating will be assigned for the school year, with as much physical distance between non-family members as possible. Masks are required when transporting inside all EMA vehicles.
Getting Outdoors
As much as possible, we will aim to conduct games, sports and physical activities outside. Our team has identified areas around our studios where we can do this, as to be in a well-ventilated area for children to play and learn.
Minimizing Touch in Class/Games/Activities
We have redesigned games and activities to still be fun, but to minimize touch or sharing of supplies. Shared items will be cleaned and sanitized after each usage.
