From drop-off to pick-up, we’ll keep your child safe and sound.
You put your trust in us to care for your child when you can’t. And even though our day is full of giggling and wiggling, we take that responsibility very seriously! That’s why you’ll see that everything we do—from enforcing building security, to hiring trustworthy caregivers, to protecting your community from COVID-19—protects your child in every way.
See 3 ways we prioritize wellness.
From wellness check-ins at drop-off, to learning healthy habits throughout the day, wellness is a big theme here. We teach your child that taking care of their healthy body, happy heart, and growing mind all contribute to being (and feeling) well!
Wellness station check-ins start everyone’s day with care. We’ll do a quick assessment to see how your child is feeling—getting a sense of their physical health and state of mind!
Sick policies protect our entire learning community. If your child is sick, please keep them home until they are well. If your child gets sick while they're in class, we’ll notify you and separate them in a safe place until you can pick them up.
Social-emotional learning (SEL) is central to our curriculum because it fosters and protects wellness for kids of all ages.
Look for the health and safety seal of approval!
When you see the WELL Health-Safety Rating™seal on our center doors, you can feel even more confident leaving your child with us. Because we partnered with building safety experts to validate our safety and wellness standards and passed their test with flying colors!
Point of pride:
We are the largest education provider (and the only national provider of early childhood education and care) that has earned the WELL Health-Safety Rating for Facility Operations and Management™!
Notice how secure your child is in our buildings.
When your child is here, we take every measure to protect them while giving them ample freedom to discover new things. Every classroom is kid-proof, so the things in arms-reach are safe for your child to explore. Our doors are locked during business hours and only opened for authorized staff and enrolled families. Only pre-approved people with photo identification may pick-up your child.
Feel confident in our staff.
Your child’s teachers and center staff might grow to feel like extended family! That’s because they are:
Talented
Our staff are trained in child development, early-childhood education, or a related field, and they’re certified in pediatric first aid and CPR. And, you can trust that we hire top talent. We’re the only early childhood education provider to partner with Gallup® to find caregivers who are the best fit for our culture, purpose, and values.
Trustworthy
Everyone on our staff has passed a criminal background check as one important step in making sure we hire the best caregivers for your child.
Come on into our squeaky-clean classrooms!
Cleaning your child’s classroom happens all day, in every way! Our hospital-grade cleaning products are powerful on big germs but gentle your little gems. We use them throughout the day to sanitize high-touch surfaces, toys, and playground equipment (and we store them out of children’s reach).
Find comfortable daily rhythms and routines.
Safe sleep policies so everyone rests easy.
Learning, playing, and making new friends can be exhausting! Your little snoozer will sleep like a baby in their own crib or cot—with every current safety protocol in place.
Get a taste for our food safety practices.
Meal and snack times are a fan-favorite for kids of all ages! We make sure to keep little hands and mouths full and clean. Plus, our menu is planned by a registered dietitian, and our on-site cooking staff makes sure all the food is stored and served properly.
Play it safe outside.
Outside, secure perimeters give your child freedom to explore and play. Our playground equipment is designed for a range of ages, and soft-landing areas are tested monthly by facilities technicians to make sure everything is sturdy, secure, and ready for prime get-your-wiggles-out playtime!
We’re prepared for anything.
Natural disasters and unexpected emergencies are unlikely but can happen from time to time. Our staff is trained to follow your center’s Emergency Response Plan to be ready for almost anything. Talk to your center director about the emergency plan for your location.
Maintaining health and safety is a community effort.
When we all work together, we strengthen our ties to one another, while teaching kids to practice healthy habits for life.
