• Background checks

• Gate and pickup

  A teacher meets each child at the gate and hands them back at the gate. We release a child only to the people you list in writing, and we ask for ID from anyone we don't know.

• Weather

  Each morning we look at the forecast and the wind and decide how long each group stays out. Cold, wet or smoky days mean shorter blocks outside and more time in the warm room.

• Counting heads

  We count the children every time we change places: out the door, at the yard gate and back in.

• Clean hands

  Hands are washed on the way in, before snack and after digging.

• Rest time

  Children rest indoors, each on their own cot, with a teacher in the room. A child who doesn't sleep rests quietly with a book.

• Allergies

  Tell us about any allergy at the tour. Once you enroll, we ask again in private.
