Safety routines

• Arrival and pickup

  A teacher greets every child at the door and signs them in. At pickup a child goes only with the people on your list, and we ask for ID at the door until we know you.

• Allergies and snacks

  Tell us about allergies at the tour; we ask privately once you enroll. We ask families not to send nuts, and snack is set out in the room by the teachers.

• When a child is ill

  A child with a fever or a contagious illness stays home. If a child becomes ill at school, we call you right away and a teacher stays close until you arrive.

• The yard and headcounts

  The yard is fenced and the gate is latched. We count heads every time children move between the rooms and the yard, and a teacher is always outside with them.

• Hands and cleaning

  Children wash their hands when they arrive, before snack and after the yard. Teachers clean the tables and the toys at the end of each morning.

• A teacher beside the play

  Teachers sit at the children's level and join in when invited. They step in to keep play fair and gentle, and they call out hands, voices and feet in a calm voice.
