Health & Safety
What safety measures do you have in place?
The safety of every child is our top priority. We maintain secure entry procedures, strict visitor policies, regular sanitation schedules, supervised play areas, emergency preparedness plans, and staff trained in CPR, First Aid, and child safety protocols.
How do you handle illness policies?
To help keep all children healthy, we ask families to keep children home when they are sick, have a fever, or show contagious symptoms. If a child becomes ill while in our care, families are notified immediately.
How do you handle food allergies?
We work closely with families to understand allergies and dietary restrictions. Staff are informed of allergy needs, and classrooms take precautions to reduce exposure. Nutritious meals and snacks are provided daily.
Family Communication
How will I know how my child is doing each day?
We believe communication matters. Families receive regular updates about their child’s day, including activities, progress, behavior, meals, naps, and important milestones through the ProCare app.
Can I speak with teachers or administration anytime?
Yes. We welcome open communication and encourage families to contact us with questions, concerns, or updates during business hours.
