Important Information on COVID-19 and Children
Sacred Heart Villa is working hard to bring you the latest information on Covid-19. Since our focus is on children, we are particularly concerned with their safety and well-being. They have seen a lot of changes over the last few months, and more will come as we prepare for the fall semester. Below are a few websites that help explain these changes, and help reassure children that everything will be okay.
The CDC has developed guidance for adults to talk with children about COVID-19 and about what they can do to avoid getting or spreading infections. The guidance can be found at:
