- Our teachers and custodial staff do an excellent job of sanitizing our preschool areas to ensure the safety of your child. (per Preschool Department Guidelines)
- Handwashing procedures are noted in the Preschool Department Guidelines.
- Diaper changing procedures are noted in the Preschool Department Guidelines.
