state’s mandated requirements.

employees are notified when they need to be retested. Additionally, each staff person
receives ongoing annual training in accordance with state regulations.

Outdoor Policy
Our daily schedules have designated times for outdoor play everyday. Children engage in
outdoor play in accordance with state licensing guidelines. Please make sure your child is

activities, including outdoor play. If there are medical reasons why your child can’t play
outdoors but is well enough to be at the center, we will make every attempt to comply with
your request when presented with a physician’s written instructions.
