Our House Open for School

March 16, 2020
We are committed to supporting our families on the road to self-sufficiency. We recognize that many of our enrolled families work in positions with limited to no paid time off. It is in recognition of these equity challenges that Our House will open for children on Monday, March 16, 2020. We are working to ensure that if you must go to work, safe care for your children is not a barrier. In order to ensure the safest environment for our staff, parents can help us in the following ways:
  • Keep your child home if they are sick.
  • If you or someone you have been in contact with meet the criteria for the coronavirus disease, please self-quarantine.
  • When entering Our House facilities, wash your hands and/or use the hand sanitizing stations provided.
  • While Our House encourages a high attendance rate, you have our support if you want to keep your children at home.

We are working to ensure that our staff is healthy and available to provide the services that will help you obtain and/or maintain self-sufficiency. Staff continue to follow universal precautions, sanitize classrooms daily, and monitor their own health and safety.

Our licensing agency has provided information to help families and programs. Please visit the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning for a list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the current situation and check daily for updates.
