It’s A Child’s World Air Quality Policy

As the air quality can rapidly change daily, we’ve had some questions about Air Quailty and outdoor time.

Here is our policy as written in the Parent Handbook:

1-3 Low Risk – no precautions necessary.

4-5 Moderate Risk- Reduce consecutive time spent outside to a max of 1.5 hours. Monitor closely for symptoms like coughing, wheezing, irritated throat. If children experience symptoms they will be brought inside.

6 Moderate Risk – Reduce consecutive time spent outside to a max of 1 hour. Monitor closely for symptoms like coughing, wheezing, irritated throat. If children experience symptoms they will be brought inside.

7-10 High – Only small groups of children with no existing conditions to participate in an intentional facilitated experience that is not strenuous with reduced time to a max of 30min.

11+Very High Risk – Children will be kept indoors
