Frequently Asked Questions

does my toddler have to wear a mask?

As of 3/18/22 Room to Bloom is no longer requiring masks for children or adults.

how do you calculate your capacity? 

We follow all state and city guidelines, which include the count of all children & adults and are subject to change as COVID levels rise or fall. Per the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, as of May 29, 2021 there are no longer reduced capacity restrictions mandated by the state.  

​

Room to Bloom's capacity is 46 people.

what product do you use to clean? 

We consider cleaning and disinfecting to be the most important port of our job.

​

We sanitize and disinfect every loose toy after each play session with our BRU-TAB disinfectant, as well as spray all surfaces like cafe tables/chairs, play structures, rock wall, train table, piklar triange, door handles/doorways, etc). We have a second set of toys that we rotate in when the first set is drying. 

​

We follow all CDC cleaning guidelines.

What covid policies does your staff follow?

  1. Staff agrees not to work if anyone in their household has COVID symptoms, has tested positive in the last 10 days, or is currently in quarantine due to possible exposure and will give as much notice as possible that they are unable to work their shift. We will do our best to find a replacement staff member but occasionally we have not been able to secure a replacement due to the last minute nature of symptoms. We reserve the right to cancel our play session if we can't find a replacement staff member to work. We apologize for any disappointment if this happens. 

  2. Staff will follow all CDC cleaning guidelines

WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU MADE TO KEEP MY FAMILY AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE at R2B?

We removed toys that could not be soaked daily to disinfect (dolls, puppets, dress-up) or that had many small pieces to clean (lego duplos) and replaced with gross motor toys like our new Pikler triangle and FORT magnetic cushions. We hope to bring these pretend play and building toys back to our space when it's safe to do so! 

​

Our art room was transformed into a retail store, filled with educational toys, games & books to promote purposeful play at home
