• Background checks
• CPR and first aid
• Mandated reporter training

• 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 at the door until we know you.

• Allergies and snacks

  Tell us about allergies at the tour; we ask privately once you enroll. We ask families not to send nuts, and snack is prepared at the table with the children.

• Cold mornings

  Children dress in layers, and the boots and snow pants hang by the door. On very cold or icy mornings outdoor time is shorter or moves indoors, and we message families early if the school closes.

• Outdoors and headcounts

  An adult is with the children whenever they are outside. We count heads each time the group moves between the room, the garden and the trail, and a first aid kit goes along.

• When a child is ill

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