At our center, we follow all state-mandated sanitation protocols to ensure a clean and healthy environment for the children in our care. We disinfect toys, surfaces, and frequently touched items daily using either a child-safe commercial disinfectant or a bleach and water solution made fresh each day. 

Items like changing tables, toilets, sinks, and play areas are cleaned and sanitized regularly throughout the day to prevent the spread of germs. Bedding, cribs, and cots are washed weekly (or more often if needed), and each child has their own designated sleeping area to avoid cross-contamination. We also make sure our garbage bins are covered, emptied daily, and cleaned as needed to maintain sanitary conditions. Our center is kept free from pests, and we act immediately if any signs of insects or rodents are found, including contacting our pest control provider. 

We take pride in keeping the building well-maintained—free of leaks, with clean floors, walls, and carpets to ensure a safe, comfortable environment. By following these guidelines closely, we’re able to provide a clean, welcoming space for children to play, learn, and grow.

At our center, we are committed to upholding all state-mandated safety protocols as outlined by the New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF) to ensure a secure and nurturing environment for every child.​

Building & Environmental Safety We conduct regular inspections to ensure our facility complies with all building and fire safety codes. This includes maintaining clear emergency exits, functioning smoke detectors, and accessible fire extinguishers. Our classrooms and play areas are designed to be free from hazards, with safety gates installed where necessary to prevent falls, especially around stairs and elevated areas. ​Wonderschool

Staff Training & Background Checks All staff members undergo comprehensive background checks, including fingerprinting, to ensure the safety of the children. Additionally, our team receives ongoing training in areas such as child supervision, emergency preparedness, and recognizing signs of child abuse or neglect. ​

Supervision & RatiosWe strictly adhere to the state-mandated staff-to-child ratios to ensure each child receives adequate attention and supervision. Our staff is trained to maintain visual and auditory supervision at all times, ensuring children's safety during all activities. ​

Emergency PreparednessOur center has a comprehensive emergency plan in place, which includes regular fire drills and procedures for various emergency situations. We ensure that all staff are familiar with these protocols to respond effectively in case of an emergency. ​

Health & HygieneWe maintain high standards of cleanliness and hygiene to prevent the spread of illnesses. This includes regular hand washing routines, sanitizing toys and surfaces, and monitoring children for signs of illness. ​

By diligently following these safety protocols, we strive to provide a safe and healthy environment where children can learn, play, and grow with confidence.

Please note that while our facility is equipped with security cameras for the safety and well-being of all children and staff, we do not offer open access to the footage.

Instead, we provide real-time updates through our virtual daily log app, Procare. This platform is updated regularly throughout the day with photos, videos, activity updates, potty/diaper changes, nap logs, and more. It also features a two-way messaging portal that allows you to communicate directly with your child’s teacher for quick questions, updates, or concerns. This system helps keep you informed and connected while ensuring the safety and privacy of everyone in our care.
