a solid foundation for future school success. Families are an
integral part of everything we do and extremely important in aiding
a home-school connection.

top priority. All of our exterior doors are locked and have a bell

the doorbell and wait for a member of management to check their
photo ID and escort them to the appropriate classroom. The

coordinator on staff to complete daily safety checks as well as
monthly fire and disaster drills. Our teachers and staff also
