Safety routines

• Check-in at the door

  A teacher meets you at the room door, finds your child on the reservation list and hands your child back at the end of the block.

• Pickup list

  We release a child only to an adult on your pickup list, and we ask for photo ID from anyone we don't know.

• Cots and rest

  Infants sleep on their backs, in their own cot, with nothing else in the cot. An older child who is tired rests on a mat, with a teacher in the room.

• Allergies

  Tell us about any allergy when you register. Once your child is enrolled, we ask again in private.

• Clean hands

  Everyone washes hands on arrival, before snack and supper, and after outdoor play.

• Drills

  Each block practices fire and weather drills with the teacher who leads it.
