All medications given to a child at childcare must be authorized by written statement from the parent or physician. All prescription medications must be in their original container indicating the child’s name, type, date of prescribed medication and the amount of dosage. All medications must go home daily, per state licensing. Over the counter medications will be given according to the labeled dosage only and must be plainly labeled with child’s name and taken home each day per state licensing.

We believe that toilet training is an important skill for children to learn. We make sure that children feel comfortable and secure before starting potty training. Children must begin toilet training at home before starting are school . After having trained at home successfully for two weeks, we gently guide them to use the toilet every time they need to go. We remind them to go every 20-30 minutes and keep track of their progress. If accidents happen, we handle them with care and support. If your child has persistent accidents, we may suggest delaying training for a short time.
Our learning centers follow clear guidelines for cleaning and sanitizing classrooms – including frequently touched surfaces and toys – throughout the day and in the evening.
Above and beyond the health and safety requirements for any child care system, our centers are installing an enhanced air purification and filtration system with Advanced Oxidation Technology. Similar in design to what is used in healthcare, food processing plants, and other highly sensitive environments, this system continuously purifies the air and sterilizes all visible surfaces significantly reducing infectious airborne pathogens including COVID-19 by purifying the air and removing airborne particulates through HEPA filters.
