Safety routines

• Arrival and pickup

  Each child is handed over and picked up at the door, with a teacher. A child leaves only with the people the family listed in writing, and we ask for ID from anyone we do not know.

• Counting children

  We count the children on arrival, going out to the yard, coming back and at pickup. One person counts and another confirms.

• Sun and water

  The yard has shade, and each child drinks water before going out, midmorning and when coming back in. In strong heat, play moves indoors.

• Meals

  The week's menu is posted for families. If your child has an allergy, tell us at the tour; we ask privately once you enroll.

• First aid

  Each group has staff trained in CPR and first aid, and a kit within the teachers' reach.

• Who comes into the classroom

  Visitors come in with a teacher or the director and sign in on arrival. Tours are by appointment.
