School District of River Falls

The Department of Children and Families (DCF) understands the need for continued child care during the COVID-19 pandemic. These DCF site guidelines and as well as direction from the SDRF will limit the number of children enrolled during the extended school closure through August 14, 2020.

We will not be having our normal summer Kids Club program at this time.

The Emergency/Healthcare Daycare will provide child care for children whose parents are in the 3 tiers of essential employees. The tiers of acceptance at this time are as follows:

Tier One: employees, contractors, and other support staff working in health care

Tier Two: employees, contractors, and other staff in vital areas including but not limited to military; long term care; residential care; pharmacies; child care; child welfare; government operations; public safety and critical infrastructure such as sanitation, transportation, utilities, telecommunications; grocery and food services; supply chain operations; and other sectors as determined by the department.

Tier Three: an expanded definition of "minimum basic operations employees" which allows additional workforce sectors to work in a limited, safe fashion during this time.

We as providers are asked to prioritize slots for families who fall under the essential worker definitions - specifically Tier One. If providers receive additional inquiries on availability from essential worker families, and if the DCF cannot find a different placement for that family, providers will be asked to accommodate essential worker families, which may mean displacing existing families. 

Parents must read the Handbook, COVID 19 Policy, the Parent Agreement on the right side of this page and will be asked to sign a Sick Child Policy Agreement.  You can either print, sign or bring with you on your child's first day or we will give you a copy to sign.  Thank you
