- The health and safety of the children in our care is of the utmost importance. The safety starts at the front door, with a security-code access door. We adhere to strict pick-up procedures, based on each family's written requests. We have specific vendors that ensure high-quality toys and equipment, as well as our staff checking the equipment regularly to ensure it is safe and in good repair for the children. Our center promotes a healthy environment in many ways, too. Children and adults wash their hands numerous times a day; toys are sanitized frequently and we follow a daily and weekly cleaning and sanitizing checklist. In addition, we also have a doctor that visits the facility and is available for consult, when needed, regarding health-related topics.
