Safety routines

• Helper orientation

  Before a first duty morning, a teacher walks each parent through the room's routines, and the parent reads the helper notebook.

• Headcount

  We count the children at arrival, before and after the yard, and at pickup. A teacher counts and a second adult confirms.

• Pickup

  Children go home only with an adult on the family's list, and we check ID at the door.

• Snack and allergies

  Parent helpers prepare snack from the room's list. Families tell us about allergies at the tour and give the details privately once they enroll.

• Helpers beside a teacher

  A parent helper works beside a teacher. Helpers don't lead the group or take a child out of the room alone.

• Outdoor time

  Children go out most days. A teacher stays where they can see the whole yard, and everyone comes in together.
