💙 Preschool Pathways Health & Safety

Our Preschool Pathways friends are becoming more independent, curious, and confident every day. We focus on giving them opportunities to learn, explore, and build independence while maintaining a safe and healthy environment.

• 🧼 Frequent handwashing: Children and teachers wash hands throughout the day, especially before meals, after bathroom use, after outdoor play, and whenever needed.
• 🧸 Clean & sanitized spaces: Toys, tables, learning materials, and high-touch surfaces are regularly cleaned and sanitized.
• 👀 Active supervision: Teachers continuously supervise children and maintain appropriate teacher-to-child ratios.
• 🍎 Safe mealtimes: Children are supervised while eating, and teachers follow appropriate food safety and choking-prevention practices.
• 🚽 Growing independence: Children are encouraged to take responsibility for bathroom routines, handwashing, cleaning up, and other self-help skills.
• 🌡️ Illness awareness: Teachers monitor children for signs of illness and follow Primrose health and exclusion policies when a child is sick.
• 🛝 Outdoor safety: Age-appropriate playgrounds give children opportunities to run, climb, balance, and strengthen gross motor skills while being actively supervised.
• 🧠 Learning through play: Our Balanced Learning® curriculum provides developmentally appropriate experiences while teachers support each child’s individual needs.
• ❤️ Prepared teachers: Staff receive ongoing health and safety training, including required First Aid and CPR certification.
• 🚨 Emergency preparedness: Teachers follow our customized Safe School Plan and participate in regular emergency drills.
• 📱 Family communication: Parents should keep emergency contacts, medical information, allergies, and authorized pickup information current.
• 👕 Extra clothing: Please keep an extra set of weather-appropriate clothing available for spills, accidents, and messy learning adventures.

Our goal is to give every Preschool Pathways child the confidence to become more independent while knowing they have caring teachers there to guide, support, and keep them safe. 💙🌟
