What safety protocols will be followed?
While of course we wish we could eliminate all health risks, that isn’t possible. If you require or expect a risk-free environment for COVID-19 for your child, you should not enroll your child in the program. Our actions are intended to help reduce or mitigate risks.
- Daily health checks for students and staff
- Increased scheduled handwashing times
- Sanitizing supplies for students in every activity area
- Consistent staff and student grouping to make any necessary contact tracing more efficient
- Social distancing- assigned seating at snack, allotting 6 foot spacing per student during activity time
- Organized materials and activities by groups- no community supplies
- Curbside drop off and pickup
- Environmental cleaning intensity and frequency increased with EPA-approved products
- Face coverings by staff, adult visitors, and required student groups
- “Traffic signs” to manage movement within activity areas
Health and Safety details are available on the tab to the left.
Does my child wear a face-covering during Eagle’s Nest?
Eagle’s Nest will follow the same guidelines that are in place during the school day, so if face coverings are required for students during the school day, they will be required during Eagle’s Nest.
What happens to Eagle’s Nest if the school district moves to a hybrid approach (only 1/2 the students attending school on a given day)?
Our plan is to continue Eagle’s Nest service for the students who are on campus on their assigned day. For example, if a student is assigned to the Maroon group, Eagle’s Nest will be available on the days Maroon group students are in school. On days the Gold group is in school, there will not be Eagle’s Nest for Maroon students. Since the children will be receiving fewer days of service, tuition will be adjusted accordingly.

What happens to Eagle’s Nest if the school district moves to a full eLearning plan?
As with last March, if the school district must close the school campus to students, Eagle’s Nest will be closed. Tuition will be refunded accordingly.
Can I pay tuition a semester or a year in advance?
Tuition will only be accepted a month at a time. Due to the uncertainty of this upcoming school year, we will not accept semester or annual tuition payments.
Why is Eagle’s Nest enrolling fewer students?
While the current plan for the New Albany Schools to reopen for all students in the Fall, Eagle’s Nest complies with the state requirements for child care programs, which has lowered the amount of children allowed to be served. If the state increases the ratios, we will explore expanding enrollment into Eagle’s Nest.
What if I enroll but decide before the school year starts to not send my child to Eagle’s Nest?
You would be responsible for the $50 non-refundable deposit. If you cancel your registration by Monday August 3rd at 3:00 pm EST, you will not be responsible for the first month’s tuition.
