• Background checks

• Arrival and pickup

  An adult greets each child at the door and signs them in. At pickup a child goes only with the people on your list, and we ask for ID at the door until we know you.

• Allergies and snacks

  Tell us about allergies at the tour; we ask privately once you enroll. We ask families not to send nuts, and teachers set out snack with the children.

• When a child is ill

  A child with a fever or a contagious illness stays home. If a child becomes ill at school we call you right away, and a teacher stays close until you arrive.

• Drills and headcounts

  We practice fire and severe-weather drills, and we count heads whenever children move between the room, the garden and the yard.

• Comfort in either language

  When a child is upset, the nearest adult comforts them in whichever language helps. A Japanese morning never means a child goes without being understood.

• Rest on school days

  Children who stay for the school day rest on their own mat or cot in the room, with a teacher in the room throughout.
