Children are never left unattended (i.e. bathroom breaks, outdoor play, etc.).
Children are signed in and dropped off directly to the classroom.
Only authorized family/friends are able to pick up your child during class dismissal.
Children are released one at a time to an authorized adult.
All teachers, substitute teachers, and assistants are CPR and First Aid Certified.
The classroom is a nut-free/allergy-friendly environment.
Children wash their hands before entering the classroom each day, before snack time, and as needed throughout the day.
All parents are provided the opportunity to check the snack each day at drop off for potential allergens and/or sensitivities.
10.) Sibling Policy/Child Care
We do NOT allow parents to bring their other children into class on their scheduled working days because we are only licensed to provide care for children that are enrolled and meet our age requirements. If a family is in need of childcare, we are happy to put them in touch with other families in the same situation. The Co-Op does not provide childcare.
11.) Potty-Training Policy
We understand! Many children are ready for preschool, but not quite ready for the potty. Our license prohibits us from changing diapers. However, we welcome children who haven't quite mastered toilet training. If your child soils his/her pull-up or diaper, we must call a parent/guardian to school for a quick change.
