After months of being closed due to coronavirus, the Children's Museum in downtown Omaha is open for summer camps this week.
"I was concerned about that at first, but they have been really careful with everything," Sara Clark told 6 News. She says she was excited to hear summer camp was an option as well, but had to think about safety with the coronavirus.
Staff are all wearing masks, extra hand sanitizer stations have been installed and everything is being cleaned between each class.
"We are tending to their children in a way they can trust and rely on us only with exceptional details around their health and safety," Executive Director Lindy Hoyer tells 6 News. As part of these safety measures, they are only allowing 40 kids in at a time.
"So we will have no more than 10 children per classroom per session and each classroom will have the same two instructors throughout the week."
They have broken up the day into a morning and afternoon session with cleaning taking place in between. All the cleaning efforts help Clark feel safe about letting her son stay and play. "I'm very grateful for all of the precautions they have been taking so my son can have a really great week."
The Children's Museum is monitoring the coronavirus and is looking at August for a possible reopening to the public.
