Child Wellness Policy and Safety

SAFETY

Our check-in system provides name tags for your child and a matching tag for the parent for pickup.  Security is important to us. Only teachers and parents are allowed in the children's area. All teachers and helpers are required to submit to a thorough background check and attend training.
