For kindergarten, that becomes one adult for every 8 children.
The details parents should not have to chase
Staff and safety
Care is personal. Our screening, training, ratios, and daily routines are specific on purpose.
Screened before the first day. Rechecked every two years.
- ✓An in-person interview and two reference calls
- ✓Fingerprint-based state and FBI criminal background checks
- ✓Iowa child abuse, dependent adult abuse, and sex offender registry checks
- ✓Mandatory reporter training
- ✓Pediatric CPR and first aid
- ✓20 hours of training before anyone works with children
- ✓Yearly driving record checks for van drivers
- ✓Every check repeated every two years
No closed-door one-on-one care
No staff member is ever alone with one child behind a closed door.
Adults in every van
A driver and second staff member handle the road and roll call together.
