Questions Surrounding Summer @ CMEE and COVID-19

We look forward to another incredible summer at the Children’s Museum! In response the the feedback we’ve received about the upcoming season, Ms. Liz has begun answering parents’ most frequently asked questions.

Is there a refund policy?

Yes, if NY’s stay-at-home order continues into the summer, a full refund will be issued. Additionally, if a family feels uncomfortable about their child or children attending any of CMEE’s summer programming due to COVID-19 concerns, a refund request can be made prior to the start of camp.

In addition, if your child or someone in the household becomes ill during your enrollment, you will receive a credit to use at a later date. 

What are group sizes?

All group sizes are limited to 10 people. 

What type of experience do staff members have?

All CMEE educators have abundant professional experience.  All programs are led by professional K12 teachers with assistance from college students pursuing education or arts degrees.  All CMEE educators possess a broad range of experience working with children and families.  

CMEE educators participate in ongoing professional development training at the Museum and their teaching practice is regularly observed and critiqued by CMEE’s Director of Education.  

How often are things cleaned?

Toys, surfaces, and rugs are cleaned multiple times throughout the day.  Floors and surfaces are deep cleaned each night.  Toys are rotated and soaked in a cleaning solution every day. 

How much time is spent outside?

It’s summer! Campers spend as much time as possible outside.  Specials including yoga, gardening, music, and ceramics are all offered outside.  CMEE campers will go outside each day, rain or shine.  In addition to playing in the rain, we have covered space for kids who prefer to stay dry.
