COVID-19 Safety

Bilingual Kids is currently following CDC guidance and from the public health departments at the State and County levels, to ensure the safety of students, their families and staff. The safety and health of all of our students and staff is and has always been our top priority. We take great care and diligence to develop and maintain medical practices to address various communicable diseases, both common and rare and our facilities include medical grade HEPA filtration.

We will continually be updating our policy as additional COVID-19 guidance is provided. Cancellations will be made in accordance with guidelines from public health authorities, coupled with other considerations. We will be following all directives to reduce exposure at in-person classes and continue to update you if the public health department decides on: quarantines, closures, and exclusion policies.

While classes and camps might look a bit different this year we are going to provide our students the same level of excellence as we have for the past 12 years. Classes will be a safe, fun, educational, and exciting language learning experience filled with nature, STEM, art, music, games, treasure hunts and much more.
