School Notes
- Our facility has an exclusive curriculum that is developmentally appropriate for all levels and makes learning fun. It provides consistency and structure to their environment to assist in all students’ success. In addition, our center provides small group educational programs in music, math, and phonics to enhance our students overall academic experience. In addition, once a month we provide a parents night out so our parents can have some time together to relax knowing their children are in a safe and familiar place. Our center has wonderful diversity among our families. We transport children to nine different elementary schools in three different school districts so our school age students have the opportunity to make friends from across the entire community. Families that are looking for childcare and tour our center will see a clean, safe, fun and structured atmosphere that invokes a feeling of family and sparks a love of lifelong learning.
- Health and Safety is a priority that all team members contribute to. Our staff are infant and child First Aid/CPR trained and we regularly conduct disaster drills to ensure teacher confidence should a disaster strike. We routinely check our equipment and the center's grounds for any safety concerns in addition to our playground being fenced in on all sides. Each classroom has an allergy list posted that includes the children's photos and we are a peanut free facility. Entry into the building requires a code to open the door and any individuals authorized by parents to pick up their child must show a photo id. All shared surfaces including tables, changing tables, sinks and high chair trays are cleaned between each use with a 1-2-3 Lysol cleaning method and each classroom utilizes a daily and weekly cleaning checklists that must be initialed by the teachers upon completion. While tending to the children in our care, their health and safety is a top priority to our entire team.
