• Arrival and pickup

  A teacher 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.

• Headcounts

  We count the children at arrival, when we go out to the yard, when we come in, and at pickup. One teacher counts and a second confirms.

• Heat, sun and water

  In summer, outdoor play happens in the morning and in the shade, children wear hats, and water bottles go everywhere. When it is too hot, the yard moves indoors. An adult stays at every water basin.

• Allergies and snacks

  Tell us about allergies at the tour; we ask privately once you enroll. We ask families not to send nuts, and snack is served at the table with a teacher beside the children.

• 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 teacher stays close until you arrive.
