Dear Extreme Kids & Crew community,
We hope this finds you and your crew well amidst the growing concern about COVID-19. Like everyone, we are carefully monitoring the situation and working to make the best decisions possible for the health and welfare of everyone who enters Extreme Kids spaces.
The safety and health of our member families, staff, and volunteers is our top priority, and thus, to err on the side of caution we have made the tough decision to suspend all weekend programming and events through March 31. After-school is closed through March 20th, at which point, post deep-cleaning, we will reassess. This was not an easy nor desirable decision, but ultimately, we want to ensure we are doing our part to avoid the possible spread of the virus. We will provide continual updates on our website and social media feeds regarding how we will proceed in the coming weeks, and will be available during work hours should you need to reach us.
This month Extreme Kids will:
Professionally sanitize our spaces
Brainstorm alternative program offerings. Virtual playdates and support groups?!
Provide some much-needed love, and levity, along the way
It is reasonable to feel anxious during this time of unknowns. Please take care of yourself, inside and out, and take care of each other. No one knows what to do exactly, but we will get through this together!
Ways to connect with Extreme Kids and other caregivers/parents:
The Extreme Kids email listserv, as always, can be used in the following ways:
Crowdsource information about: babysitting, schools, doctors, etc.
Organize playdates
Reach out to other caregivers (or us) for support

Please reach out, stay in contact with us and your community. Hopefully we are being overly cautious. I recognize the impact these decisions have on all of us and do not take them lightly. Stay strong and connected, my friends. And lastly, Happy Birthday Felix!
Sincerely,
Caitlin M. Cassaro, Executive Director and The Crew
