Safety

Safety and security measures are priority. Our commitment to this responsibility is evident. Our classrooms and playgrounds were carefully designed. Our toys, supplies, materials, furnishings and equipment were carefully selected, prior to being placed within our classrooms and on our playgrounds. As an additional measure, each are routinely inspected and maintained to ensure the safety of children within our care. Emergency preparedness plans are in place in the event of severe weather, fire, lockdown conditions, evacuation, etc. Monthly drills are held to ensure our children and our staff can calmly and quickly follow through with these procedures. Our school is located within very close proximity of two Fire/EMS departments. And city and county Police/Sheriff departments are only minutes away.

Cleanliness

At all times, you will find our school to be a very healthy, clean environment. Our school is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected every evening, including our toys, equipment, furnishings, sinks, water fountains and even door knobs. Our classrooms are clean, bright, cheerful and spacious. Our restrooms contain safe child height facilities and we ensure they remain spotless for our children.

You will find clean high quality equipment and appliances in our kitchen, carefully selected healthy foods and beverages. Frequent hand washing by all staff and children occurs numerous times throughout the day, as do additional precautions for insuring good health and wellness.

We are licensed by the State of NC and are inspected regularly by the NC Division of Child Development as well as the Department of Health and Human Services. Due to the nature of our business and our desire to provide our children with high quality care and education, we choose to exceed State Laws and regulations governing all child care programs. We are happy to provide you with access to review our 25 year history of all inspections and licensing records.

Security

Our school is properly staffed, closely supervised and video monitored. The owner Jenny and the Director Kim are on site daily, closely monitoring the school, as well as the daily operation of the program. Staff keep a watchful eye on the children and are properly trained in emergency procedures in the event of any concerns. We are very protective of our children. Each of our entry/exit doors and playground gates are equipped with electronic security code keypads. Proper photo ID is required of any person you designate to depart with your child. Our outdoor play, learning and gardening areas are located within secure fencing exceeding height requirements. Even the safety cushion padding underneath our turf playground is twice as thick as required.

“I realized what a great decision I had made choosing this center when my child woke me up at 4:00 in the morning, fully dressed, wanting to go to school.”
