Our Preschool Pathways Classroom
Our Preschool Pathways program provides a “bridge” between our Early Preschool and Preschool classrooms for children whose birthdays will ultimately miss the cutoff date for kindergarten entrance. By identifying those children early, we can help them stay with a consistent group of peers through preschool, pre-K and kindergarten.

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.
