Caring for our toddlers is a responsibility we take seriously in every part of the day — from the air they breathe to the meals they eat. Here’s how we keep our toddler classrooms safe, clean, and nurturing.

Managing Illness

• High-touch toys and surfaces are disinfected and sanitized frequently throughout the day with a hospital grade sanitizer
• Handwashing is built into our curriculum and daily staff protocols, practiced frequently by children and teachers alike
• Teachers are trained to recognize early signs of illness, reinforced by signage posted in every classroom
• Children and staff showing signs of illness (such as fever) stay home

Air Quality

• Our toddler classrooms are equipped with built-in UV air sanitizing systems
• Air filters are changed monthly to help maintain clean, healthy indoor air

Meals

• Meals are cut into small, age-appropriate pieces to help prevent choking, and certain foods are not served in our toddler classrooms for choking-safety reasons
• Our classrooms and kitchen are nut-free
• Families with a known allergy or dietary restriction complete an allergy plan on file with our staff, with allergies posted in classrooms and the kitchen

Teachers

• Each toddler classroom has two primary teachers your child sees every day, building real familiarity and trust
• All staff complete background checks, fingerprinting, and thorough training before working with children
• Our toddler classrooms maintain teacher-to-child ratios lower than state maximums

Daily Communication

• Every day, you’ll receive updates on diapers, naps, and meals — plus potty training updates when applicable
• Photos and videos throughout the day let you see your toddler’s moments as they happen

Building & Premises Safety

• Building access is controlled by individual Bluetooth credentials — not a shared code that can be passed along or duplicated
• All visitors are ID-scanned before entering the building
• We maintain an open-door policy — parents are always welcome to visit their child’s classroom

Emergency Preparedness

• An up-to-date, customized Safe School Plan is posted in every classroom for easy teacher reference
• Staff complete ongoing health and safety training, including current CPR and First Aid certification
• Our team practices regular emergency drills to stay prepared for a range of scenarios

Weather Preparedness

• Regular weather drills keep staff and children prepared for severe weather
• Clear guidelines determine when it’s safe for children to go outside, based on heat, air quality, and other conditions
• Sunscreen application and hats are part of our outdoor routine
