Cleanliness at Our Centers
At all of our centers, rigorous health and safety practices are a foundation of the way we care for children.
- Both staff and children are frequently washing hands throughout the day.
- Food preparation surfaces, eating utensils, tables, highchairs, computer keyboards, mixed-use surfaces, changing tables, and potties are all sanitized after each use by staff wearing gloves. Floors, diaper pails, countertops, sinks, fountains, door and cabinet handles, and plastic toys are all sanitized daily.
- Sanitizing measures will also be applied to our playground equipment. Centers and are receiving special cleanings as needed.
- Parents are not allowed to enter the classrooms at pick-up and drop-off. A teacher will meet parents at the door to bring the child into and out of the center. Designated staff wash or disinfect hands after escorting each child, and before meeting the next child.
Meals
Hot healthy meals and nutritional snacks are provided daily free of charge. We have a full-service kitchen and staff trained in children’s nutrition, USDA guidelines, and proper portions for young children.
In addition, we promote family-style dining during mealtime as a way to further develop children’s self-help skills in preparation for school and their next stages of development.
CPR and First Aid Training
All Bailey’s Learning Academy staff members are trained regularly in CPR, even if not required by the state. First aid is taught as required by the state licensing agency/regulations so that you can feel confident that your child is safe and receiving the best care possible at our center.
