• Sign-in and pickup

  A teacher meets you at the room door and you sign your child in and out. We hand a child over only to the adults on your pickup list, and we ask anyone we don't know for photo ID.

• Evening pickup

  After dark, a teacher walks each child and parent to the door and waits until they are together. Park by the door, and we watch you to your car.

• A first visit

  A first block starts with a short settle-in at the door. We ask you what matters: naps, a bottle, a comfort toy and what helps at goodbye.

• Allergies

  Tell us about any allergy when you register. Once your child is enrolled, we ask again in private.

• Rest

  Infants sleep on their backs, in their own cot, with nothing else in the cot. An older child who is tired rests on a mat in the quiet room, with a teacher in the room.

• Clean hands

  Every child washes hands on arrival, before dinner or snack, and after outdoor play, at a sink built for small people.
