• Background checks
• CPR and first aid
• Mandated reporter training

• Arrival and pickup

  A guide greets every child at the door and signs them in. At pickup a child goes only with the people on your list, and we ask for ID at the door until we know you.

• Allergies and snacks

  Tell us about allergies at the tour; we ask privately once you enroll. Snack is set out in the room, and we ask families not to send nuts.

• When a child is ill

  A child with a fever or a contagious illness stays home. If a child becomes ill at school, we call you right away and a guide stays close until you arrive.

• Drills and headcounts

  We practice fire and severe weather drills, and we count heads every time children move between the rooms, the yard and the garden.

• Washing and play materials

  Children wash their hands on arrival and before snack, and toys and books are wiped down between uses.
