Safety routines

  • Arrival and pickup

    A guide meets every child at the door and signs them in. At pickup a child leaves only with the people on your list, and we ask for ID until we know you.

  • Allergies and snacks

    Tell us about allergies at the tour and we ask for the details privately once you enroll. Snack is prepared in the room by the children, and we ask families not to send nuts.

  • When a child is ill

    A child with a fever or a contagious illness stays home. If a child gets ill at school, we call you right away and a guide stays close until you arrive.

  • Fire drills and headcounts

    We practice fire drills and count heads whenever children move between the rooms and the yard.

  • Washing and materials

    Children wash their hands at a child-height sink on arrival and before snack, and work materials are wiped between uses.
