After a parent exhibited coronavirus type symptoms, a Dothan daycare closed its doors. Christian Kids Academy voluntarily shut down Tuesday until further notice.

“As always, we place the safety of our children and staff at the highest level,” owner Sue Tate told WTVY.

Employees are being tested for COVID-19, and the daycare won't open until it is safe for children and staff to return, she promised.

Governor Ivey, despite stringent emergency guidelines, allowed daycares to remain open, but with a 12 child per room limit. Tate said Christian Kids Academy complied with that order and other directives issued by the Centers for Disease Control.

Despite taking those precautions, after the parent displayed coronavirus symptoms Tate said closing was in the best interest of everyone.

That parent is self-quarantined.

Parents will not be charged during the closure, according to the daycare's Facebook page.
