Safety routines
Arrival and dismissal
A guide greets each child at the door and walks each child to the right car. Only the adults on a family's pickup list may collect a child.
Visitors
Every visitor signs in at the office and wears a badge. Parents who help in a room sign in the same way.
Going out
Children go on trips in small groups, each with an adult and a plan the family has signed for. The group leaves a route and a phone number at the office.
Drills
We practice fire and severe-weather drills on a calendar the head of school keeps, and we tell the children about each drill beforehand.
Allergies
Tell us about allergies at the visit; we ask privately once you enroll. Each room keeps the plan for the children in it.
Illness
A child who is unwell stays home until the next morning, and a guide calls a parent when a child is unwell at school.
