Health
Children's health is important as it can affect our families, our work, and our home life. We use a variety of strategies to help prevent the spread of germs and keep everyone healthy.

Nutrition & Meals
Many children eat more meals in child care than at home, so providing for children's nutritional needs is a serious responsibility. I may not be a professional chef, but I focus on simple, healthy meals that children enjoy.

Wellness
I believe that it's just as important for children to develop a healthy lifestyle as it is to learn their 'ABCs and 123s.' Children's overall wellness is promoted through good nutrition and physical activity.

Program Policies

All of our program policies are intended to help keep children healthy and safe while promoting the highest quality care and education. These policies can take extra effort, but they support a safe, consistent environment for children.

Communication

Effective communication is always important; even more so if there is a health or safety concern. We use a variety of strategies to communicate with parents so you're never left in the dark.

Safe Sleep

Our commitment to children's safety includes making sure that our littlest ones are safe when napping. We follow current AAP and CPSC guidelines in creating a safe sleep environment for infants.
