Let's Learn Children's Academy unequivocally endorses the COVID-19 vaccine, and strongly encourages every member of our organization to get vaccinated.  We are committed to providing a healthy, safe, and joyful learning environment where our children are happy to learn, play and grow.

We continue to diligently monitor the COVID-19 pandemic as the health, safety and well-being of our children, families, staff, and communities that we serve are our highest priorities. LLCA takes a layered approach to our health and safety policies that include the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control as well as meeting or exceeding the guidelines issued by state and local governments.

The following are our most recent policies and guidelines to support our commitment to a healthy and safe environment for our children, families, and staff.
