In case of emergency, we will call 911 if needed and contact parents immediately. We conduct monthly fire drills and have a written evacuation plan. All staff are trained in basic first aid and CPR.

Children will only be released to parents/guardians or individuals listed on the Authorized Pick-Up List. Written permission is required to release your child to anyone not on this list, and we may request identification at pick-up.

We use positive guidance techniques including redirection, modeling appropriate behavior, encouraging problem-solving, and helping children express their feelings. We never use corporal punishment or humiliation. See our handbook for complete details.

We have a three-strike policy for biting. After the first bite, parents are notified. After the second, we may schedule a family meeting. After the third bite, the child will be dismissed from the program (temporarily or permanently, depending on circumstances).
