DCFS Licensing
We are DCFS licensed which means a number of things…
-
Our teachers have met Early Childhood Education requirements of DCFS.
-
All staff members have been first-aid and CPR certified, have passed a thorough medical exam including a TB test, and have been fingerprinted and background checked.
-
All hot lunches and snacks are planned for nutritional value. Lunches contain all four food groups and all snacks include two of the four food groups.
-
Our tables, toys and classrooms are cleaned regularly with a DCFS-approved cleaning solution of bleach and water.
-
Our children are required to wash their hands numerous times while they are present. This significantly reduces the spread of germs and illnesses.
-
Our facility, staff, curriculum, equipment and toys are all DCFS-approved.
