Health and Safety Measures

Three young children sitting cross-legged in a bright classroom raise their hands enthusiastically.

Consistent Classroom Pods Stem Cross-Over Contagions

Your child stays with the same group of children and staff every day, with minimal mixing between groups. Staggering times for outdoor play and eating in class with the same group limits exposure and decreases the risk of contagions.

Social-Distancing Keeps Your Child Virus-Free

Maintaining a 6-ft separation when possible and being outside more, along with limiting visitors and postponing field trips, decreases the risk of exposure. Teaching your child alternate ways to greet others is fun and keeps your child safe as they high five instead of hug.

Sanitizing Items and Spaces Protects Good Health Now

Toys and other materials are washed and sanitized before being used by another classroom cohort, and a marked “yucky bucket” container lets us know what to clean next. Staff follow a schedule for frequent cleaning and disinfecting of all your child’s spaces for a germ-free day.

Increased Hand-Washing Kills Germs and Viruses

Staff and your child wash their hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially before and after eating or coming in from outside. Hand sanitizers are also at the ready for convenient use, killing contact germs and keeping your child healthy.

Nap & Rest Time Stays Safe With Healthy Measures

All of your child’s labeled bedding is for their exclusive use and is washed weekly. Mats, cots, and cribs are spaced out as much as possible, so nap and rest time stay what they need to be: peaceful and worry-free!

Trained Staff Stay Up to Date on Best Practices

All staff receive training to understand points like how virus is transmitted, signs and symptoms, and the policies and procedures that keep your child safest. A combined effort is the best defense to safeguard your child’s health.

Temporarily Removing Tough To Wash Items for Safety

Providing duplicates of toys and multiple sets of materials limits the number of children touching the same objects. Putting water and sensory tables on hold, and removing toys and materials that aren’t easily cleaned, keep your child’s beloved items safer than ever.

Wearing Face Masks Shields From Contagious Contact

Adults wear face masks inside the building, along with children over 5, because it’s a proven strategy that puts a stop to the potential spread of germs to keep your child healthy and safe.

Screening for Symptoms Tracks Potential Illness

At the top of the day, families answer a short list of health-related questions and take their child’s temperature to ensure they don’t have a fever–please bring your own thermometer. Tracking symptoms ensures your child’s spaces stay free and clear of potential illness.
