The Regular Use Of Masks & Gloves To Protect Health

Your child’s teacher wears a mask and gloves during essential tasks like handling food and cleaning to stop the potential spread of germs. Prevention is a cornerstone of protecting everyone’s health.

Germs Have No Home
On Your Child’s Toys

Each classroom’s used toys get sanitized twice daily, and no toys from home enter the building, limiting any risk of cross-contamination while your child enjoys the fun of their favorite toys safely.

Deep Cleaning Keeps
Spaces Risk-Free

An on-site cleaning staff continuously disinfects your child’s classrooms and bathrooms nightly. During the day, high-traffic spots like doorknobs get treated with a bleach/water solution, along with playground equipment, tables, and chairs.

Increased Attention To Hand
Hygiene Stops The Spread

Frequent hand-washing throughout the day for both your child and staff kills surface germs and effectively lowers the risk of cross-contamination, keeping your child safe and healthy.
