  • Know that you are helping make the world a cleaner and greener place
  • Know that you are also helping Edmonton Hospital Workers Child Care Society continue to provide the staff-to-child ratios and quality programming that you and your children love
  • Support our ability to continue removing the barrier of access to childcare for vulnerable families receiving treatment at the Glenrose and other nearby medical facilities by offering sliding-scale fees for our Short-Term Contingency Care program.

Flowcharts for attendance decisions

Below, please find two flowcharts to aid in the decisions around whether your child may attend the Centre, and/or at what point your child may return to the centre after having been required to stay home. To view an enlarged copy of each image, please click on it.

Note that while close contacts without symptoms are not required to isolate or quarantine, unvaccinated close/household contacts must not enter any AHS facility, including the Glenrose, for 14 days from last contact with the positive case, and so cannot attend EHW’s childcare centre during that time.

Please contact our office if you have any questions about your family’s specific situation.

Deciding Whether to Attend (daily attendance decision)
