Health & Safety

Your child's health and safety is our top priority. Should a child become ill during the school day, our staff ensures they are safe, gets lots of TLC, and immediately contacts their parents. We also have the following safety measures in place:

• The preschool has one main entrance. Only authorized adults are permitted to pick up students at the end of the school day and visitors must be buzzed in.
• Fire drills are regularly practiced and the school building is equipped with a sprinkler system.
• Evacuation plans are set up for each classroom with exits either out the classroom’s back door or the main preschool exit.
• Hand-washing is encouraged and enforced.
• Toddler toys are regularly washed and disinfected.

Food Allergies

TBI staff are skilled to handle all food allergies, including allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, milk and dairy products, eggs, and gluten. Our preschool is nut-free and extra care is taken when classrooms are involved in cooking and baking activities. Our staff are CPR and EPIPEN trained so they can provide immediate care in the event of an allergic reaction.

COVID-19 

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, TBI has prioritized the health of our students and staff. We constantly monitor guidance from the CDC and local health authorities. We have extensive protocols in place to maintain as safe an environment as possible within our facility. We believe that our students learn best in person, and strive to strike the right balance between safety and an optimal learning experience.
