School Planned to Return on January 24, 2022
The health and safety of children, families, and staff are our top priority. Based upon the increased number of COVID-19 cases in the State of Ohio and Portage County and the possibility of an increase in the spread of COVID-19 during the holiday season, Portage Learning Centers has decided to go to virtual learning for children enrolled in center-based and home-based services through the 2nd week of January 2022. In-person services are scheduled to resume on Monday, January 24, 2022.
We will continue to work with the Portage County Health Department and will notify you as soon as possible if any changes need to be made.
I appreciate your understanding as we do our best to provide high-quality education for children in our community. Your child’s Teaching Team, Home Visitor, and Family Advocate will be in contact with you.
Should you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
All Children 2 and Older Required to Wear a Mask
Effective immediately, all children ages 2 and older are required to wear a mask 
at our centers and/or when they are visited by a home services advisor. To make this fun and effective for all little ones, we recommend viewing this brief YouTube video.
COVID-19 School News
As you may be aware, the COVID-19 mutation known as the Delta variant is spreading rapidly throughout the United States. Positive COVID-19 cases continue to rise throughout Ohio, including Portage County. With low vaccination rates in our community accompanied by children ages 11 and younger not yet able to be vaccinated, we will follow CDC and OOH guidance regarding the use of face masks.
Effective Monday, 8/9/21, all PLC staff, regardless of vaccination status, must wear a mask while in the presence of children. Additionally, any parent or visitor who enters a center while children are present must wear a mask.
Staff and visitors may remove their masks at the following times:
- While outdoors but must put it on if direct care is being provided, for example, administering first aid, comforting, or holding a child
- When all children have left the building
- While in an area where children are not present
PLC will continue to monitor COVID-19 trends and re-evaluate our policies monthly. If you have any questions, you may contact our PLC Nurse, Jenn Justus, at 330- 297-7795.
