SAFETY & CARE AT SPROUTS

A group of six children, wearing colorful clothing, lie on their stomachs on a lush green lawn. They are smiling and resting their chins in their hands, with a clear blue sky in the background.

At Sprouts, safety isn’t just a checklist — it’s the foundation for everything we do. Here’s how we keep our students and teachers protected every day:

Building & Classrooms

  • Secured entrances with key‑card access
  • Interior & exterior security cameras for added peace of mind
  • Brightwheel app for seamless check‑in/out, direct parent communication, and safe tuition payments
  • Every classroom has its own emergency exit to the outdoors
  • Voice‑announcing fire alarm system and emergency lighting
  • ADA‑accessible ground‑level exits
  • Full building renovation before opening, including asbestos remediation and radon mitigation for healthy air

Playground

  • Playsafe Artificial Turf with padding that meets 6–8 ft fall‑height standards
  • Safe hard‑surface zone for trikes, balls, and big motor play
  • Secure playground gates with safety closures

Family Handbook & Drills

  • Every family receives a Parent Handbook with detailed safety procedures
  • Licensed through DHS — we practice three emergency drills each month (fire, severe weather, lockdown, reverse evacuation, and more)

Air Quality & Cleanliness

  • Air Doctor purifiers running 24/7 in classrooms and common areas
  • UltraHEPA filters capture 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and pollutants
  • Cold fogging with HOCL solution — a safe, natural disinfectant used in medical and childcare settings for over 40 years

In short: From secure doors to clean air, every detail at Sprouts is designed to keep children safe, healthy, and ready to grow.
