Brightside Academy has partnered with Rite Aid to administer COVID-19 vaccines at an on-site clinic for their early education childcare professionals. On Saturday, March 20, 2021, Brightside Academy hosted its first vaccination clinic at their regional training center in Philadelphia for educators to obtain the COVID-19 vaccine.
Brightside Academy employs over 400 committed educators and serves over 3,000 students. Childcare is an essential business that requires in-person services to be open at our 33 locations across Pennsylvania. Providing vaccine clinics to their educators who are on the front lines every day, will offer peace of mind and help them remain healthy and safe to continue servicing the local communities.
“Brightside Academy has remained committed to establishing a safe space to work and learn. The vaccine is a personal decision, however, our educators know that the vaccine can be key to operating in our new norm and we are here to support them with that.” – Tamara Cooper, COO, Brightside Academy
“Navigating the process of receiving the vaccine is cumbersome for our educators who are working during the hours when most clinics are offered. Partnering with Rite Aid, enabled us to offer the vaccine in a safe, efficient, and convenient manner. I would like to thank the team at Rite Aid for working with Brightside Academy on this initiative to ensure that our dedicated educators have access to the vaccine.” – Jack Safer, CEO, Brightside Academy
