Childcare Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Operations

• What hours are you open?
  • The website will always have the correct hours posted.

  • Each classroom has posted ratios. Overall, our ratios are best-in-class and vary by age.
• The center closes when?

• How do you communicate with parents?
  • The parents of infants, toddler and preschoolers receive a daily journal that documents feedings, naps, diaper/potty times and other important notes. Parents of our preschoolers will either receive a sticker sheet or read the dry erase board at the end of the day depending on which classroom your child is in. In addition, we provide a monthly newsletter to share news, event information, and other notes with our parent community.

Childcare Health & Saftey

• How often do you clean the rooms and toys?
  • All of our rooms have cleaning schedules for different areas of the classroom throughout the week. If a teacher sees a child cough, sneeze or put a toy in their mouth the toy goes directly into the sink in the classroom to be cleaned and sanitized. Equally important, the infant room is cleaned twice a day. What’s more, the changing tables and bathrooms are disinfected after each diaper change.
