The MLC COVID-19 Response

The Mystic Learning Center, Inc. continues to follow guidance from the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), and the Somerville Board of Health and Human Services Department.

Current COVID-19 Policy as of August 24, 2022:

Masks are no longer required, but the Mystic Learning Center fully supports individuals who wish to continue to wear a mask and can provide masks upon entering our space if needed.  


We will do our best to remain open and provide care to the families we serve through the COVID-19 surges. If the MLC is made aware of a positive COVID test result, staff with both stay late and arrive early the next day to deep clean both centers per CDC, DESE, EEC, and the local board of health guidelines. The MLC will follow protocol and notify families, schools, the local board of health, and EEC if there is an outbreak. In the rare event that the agency must shutdown for any amount of time due to multiple positive COVID results, negative staff will be expected to work on those days that the MLC/MELC is closed to students. 


If a Staff Member or a Student is exposed to a COVID positive individual:

Quarantine is no longer required nor recommended for children or staff, regardless of vaccination status or where the exposure occurred. All exposed individuals may continue to attend programming as long as they remain asymptomatic. Those who can mask should do so until Day 10, and it is recommended that they test on Day 6 of exposure. If symptoms develop, follow the guidance for symptomatic individuals listed below.


  • Symptomatic individuals can remain at MLC if they have mild symptoms, are tested immediately onsite, and that test is negative. They will be required to wear a mask until symptoms are fully resolved. For symptomatic individuals, DPH recommends a second test within 48 hours if the initial test is negative.


  • If the symptomatic individual cannot be tested immediately, they will be sent home and allowed to return to the MLC if symptoms remain mild and they test negative, or they have been fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication and their symptoms are resolving, or if a medical professional makes an alternative diagnosis. A negative test is strongly recommended for return.
