Welcome!  

We care deeply for our students, our staff, and all of our VMPS family and take enhanced precautions to keep our school healthy and safe. As a mother, my first priority is the health and welfare of my children and I know this is every parent's top priority. 

Just as we strive to continue to provide our services of care and instruction to our students, we ask that our families strive to support us in our decision-making regarding how to best protect our students and staff. We are a Village, a community of people who value others' need to feel safe and feel heard, and we value your insight.

We trust that each family who chooses to send their child to our school for care or education services fully understands the possibility of exposure to COVID-19 and other illnesses. We trust those who enter our facility are taking precautions to avoid exposure and the spread of illness in our facility.

We will continue to take enhanced precautions based on SC DHEC and CDC guidelines.  We invite you to read those precautions below.  

Thank you for your understanding and your flexibility as we work diligently to keep our children, staff and their families safe. 

Lisa Gerard, Founder & Owner

The following is a list of precautions we follow, which are based on SC DHEC and CDC guidelines:

• Disinfecting: We regularly disinfect hard and soft surfaces with disinfectant and the school is cleaned by an outside cleaning service daily.
• Indoor Shoes: All students must bring indoor shoes and wear them inside the classroom.
• Hand-Washing: We supervise frequent hand-washing of our students; students and staff must wash their hands for 15 seconds each time.
• Air Quality: We practice techniques such as ventilation, running A/C fans on auto-mode, and limiting soft surfaces/dust.
• Communication: We will communicate promptly with parents and staff should we have a case of "close contact" or if a student or adult who spent time in our buildings tests positive for COVID-19. We will also follow DHEC's reporting guidance for a positive case at school.
• Isolation/Quarantine: A child or staff member with COVID-19 symptoms, or who has been in close contact with a person who tested positive, must quarantine per CDC Guidelines HERE.
• Cases in Classroom: If a person in our facility tests positive for COVID-19, we will follow DHEC guidelines for "Cases in Classroom".
