• We limit classes to 8 learners.
• Learners work at separate tables, 2 meters apart.
• Although masks are no longer mandatory, we strongly recommend wearing one when entering and leaving the classroom, and every time you are not seated at your table.
• We provide hand sanitizer and encourage everyone to wash or sanitize their hands when entering and leaving the classroom.
• We sanitize shared surfaces and items between every group.
• The kitchen is not accessible to learners.
