Redemption Kids Reopening Guidelines

The health and safety of your children is a priority for us in all decisions made. For this reason, we have laid out guidelines below based on the information given to us by state government and health officials, as well as the CDC. These guidelines apply to all children in Redemption Kids Jr. (infants – 5K) and Redemption Kids, (1st – 6th grade). Please note that the guidelines below are age specific.
