• Arrival and pickup

  A teacher greets every child at the door and signs them in. At pickup a child goes only with the people on your list, and we ask for ID until we know you.

• Allergies and snacks

  Tell us about allergies at the tour; we ask privately once you enroll. Snacks are dairy or vegetarian, and we ask families not to send nuts.

• When a child is ill

  A child with a fever or a contagious illness stays home. If a child becomes ill here, we call you right away and a teacher stays close until you arrive.

• Drills and headcounts

  We practice fire and tornado drills, and we count heads whenever children move between the rooms, the hall and the yard.

• Outdoor play

  Children go out whenever the yard is clear, dressed for the weather. A teacher counts heads at the door and again at the gate, and the yard is fenced.

• Candles

  Children light electric candles in the rooms. Any real flame is lit by an adult, in the sanctuary, away from the children.
