Our Infant Classroom
We know the first year of life can have a big influence on a child’s success in the years that follow. That’s why teachers in your child’s Infant classroom provide a loving and nurturing environment as they lay the foundation for learning. This includes literacy; communication and vocabulary skills to help your infant better express their needs; gross motor skills and sensory development; and emotional well-being.
Nurturing Active Minds, Healthy Bodies, and Happy Hearts®
Health & Safety
At Our School, Safety and Cleanliness Come First
We are deeply committed to maintaining the highest standards of health, safety, and cleanliness to create a caring and nurturing environment where every child can thrive. Our protocols are designed to ensure peace of mind for families while supporting the well-being of our students and staff.
Here’s how we prioritize health and safety every day:
-
Illness Policy: Children or staff exhibiting respiratory symptoms or a fever of 100.4°F or higher are required to return home and remain home until they are fever-free for at least 24 hours without medication.
-
Toy Sanitization: High-touch toys are frequently disinfected and sanitized to minimize the spread of germs.
-
Handwashing Routines: Handwashing is a core part of our daily curriculum and staff protocols, with frequent handwashing practiced by both children and staff.
-
Illness Awareness: Our teachers receive training to recognize common signs of illness in children, and every classroom is equipped with signage to keep this top of mind.
-
Linen Hygiene: Crib sheets for infants are laundered daily. Older children have individual cots and blankets that are washed weekly.
-
Appropriate Supervision: We maintain proper teacher-to-student ratios to ensure safety, supervision, and quality care.
-
Staff Training: Our staff receives ongoing health and safety training, including CPR, first aid, SIDS prevention, and brain trauma awareness.
-
Safe School Plans: Each classroom has an up-to-date, customized Safe School Plan posted for quick access by teachers.
-
Secure Entry Protocols: Access to the building is strictly limited. Only management holds the front door code, and a member of management is always present at the entrance to monitor access and ensure only current families are admitted.
