Question 5

How do you handle food allergies?

Accepted Answer

We take allergies seriously and work closely with families to keep every child safe. All allergies are documented during enrollment, and families are asked to provide any necessary medications along with completed medical authorization forms. We alert families if there are allergies in their child's classroom so they can avoid packing anything containing the allergen. If food is brought into school for birthday celebrations or special occasions, it must be store-bought and in its original packaging to ensure it is safe for all children.

How will I receive updates on my child's daily activities?

Accepted Answer

Staying connected to your child's day is important to us! Once enrolled, families receive updates through our family engagement app, where teachers share photos and highlights from your child's day, from meals and activities to milestones and all the special moments in between.
