Dear Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick Families, 

The safety of our members is paramount.

For that reason, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick is following the recommendations set forth by the governor to attempt to keep daycares open to be able to provide care for working families. 

While Warwick Schools will be closed next week;

We will be OPEN for our Licensed School-Aged Childcare program at the Norwood Branch, from Monday, March 16 through Friday, March 20. 

Currently Enrolled Child care members can attend the Club, under the following conditions: 

• Child must have a CURRENT childcare application on file at the Club 

• NO child with any symptoms of any kind will be permitted to attend

• There must be an emergency contact available to pick child up within 30 minutes if need be.

We will continue our cleaning and sanitizing schedules and will be continually monitoring our members and staff.

We will reassess as more information becomes available and please note the schedule may be subject to change. 

As you know, the R.I. Department of Health has been closely monitoring the situation with the Coronavirus (Covid-19) and making timely safety recommendations. 

You can keep up to date with our Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick by following us on Facebook, and routinely checking our Website. These sites continue to be the vehicles we will use to communicate our schedules. 

To register for this program please click here and return to the Club ASAP. 

Should you have any questions or other concerns, please contact the Club at 467-4385 or email me directly at Lara@wbgclubs.org 

Dear Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick Families, 

As you know, the R.I. Department of Health has been closely monitoring the situation with the Coronavirus (Covid-19) and making timely safety recommendations.

We want to assure all of our families that BGCW is following their guidance and taking precautions to protect all members, staff and visitors. In addition to encouraging basic preventative measures (proper hand washing, reminding members to cover their mouths, hand sanitizer stations, not sharing drinks, food, etc.), staff has been instructed to regularly wipe down surfaces on our vans and at all branches throughout the day. We are also working closely with our cleaning company to ensure they are suitably sanitizing our spaces.

Additionally, no large groups will be allowed at the Club until further notice.

As a parent, what can you do? 

Continue to remind your child about keeping their hands away from their face (and others).

Should your child be sick (cough, runny nose, fever of more than 100 degrees, etc.) please keep your child home.

TALK to your children – there is a lot of misinformation out there and many kids are scared, while others don’t take it seriously enough. The CDC (Centers for Disease Control) is a great resource on how to talk to your child. You can access it by visiting: www.cdc.gov/coronavirus.

For other precautions, this CDC site is also a great resource, and we recommend you check it out.

You can keep up to date with our Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick by following us on Facebook, and routinely checking our Website.

These are the vehicles we will use to communicate should situations force closure or modified schedules.

IMPORTANT: Please also make sure your emergency contact information is up to date.

As you may know, the Department of Health is advising against large groups congregating in one area. As our Playoffs attract many spectators to support the players in their big games... 

In the interest of the health and safety for all, all Playoff Games and Youthoop Practices are postponed until further notice. After two weeks we will re-evaluate and make further plans. 

Should you have any questions or other concerns, please contact the Club at 467-4385 or email me directly at Lara@wbgclubs.org.

Sincerely,

Executive Director

Boys & Girls Clubs of Warwick
