Lily of the Valley (LOVS) Early Education Preschool Health and Safety Program :

Welcome to Lily of The Valley Schools (LOVS) Early Education and Preschool, where the health and safety of your child is our top priority! We understand the importance of providing a safe and secure environment for young learners, which is why we have implemented a comprehensive health and safety program. Our LOVS Health and Safety program ensures that your child receives the best care while they explore, learn, and grow.

Here are some key features of our early education and preschool health and safety program:
1. Qualified and Caring Staff: Our dedicated team of experienced educators and caregivers undergoes thorough background checks and receives regular training on health and safety protocols. They are passionate about providing a nurturing and secure environment for your child.
2. Safe and Secure Premises : Our facility is designed to meet stringent safety standards. We have implemented childproofing measures, such as secure entrances, safety gates, and age-appropriate equipment, to minimize potential hazards.
3. Health Monitoring: We prioritize the health of every child. Our staff members perform daily health checks to monitor for any signs of illness or discomfort. We maintain records of each child's health information and follow proper protocols in case of any health concerns.
4. Sanitation and Hygiene: Maintaining a clean and hygienic environment is essential for the well-being of our students. We follow strict cleaning and sanitization practices, including regular disinfection of toys, surfaces, and high-traffic areas. We also promote proper hand hygiene among children and staff through handwashing routines and the use of hand sanitizers.

5. Allergen Awareness: We take allergies seriously and work closely with parents to ensure a safe environment for children with specific dietary needs. Our staff members are trained to identify and respond to allergies, and we have policies in place to prevent allergen exposure and cross-contamination.
6. Emergency Preparedness: Our team is well-prepared to handle emergencies. We conduct regular drills for fire safety, evacuation procedures, and other potential scenarios. Our staff members are trained in first aid and CPR, and we have comprehensive emergency response plans in place.
7. Communication with Parents: We believe in maintaining open lines of communication with parents. We keep parents informed about their child's daily activities, including meals, naps, and learning experiences. We also promptly communicate any health or safety-related incidents or updates.
8. Partnerships with Health Professionals: We collaborate with trusted health professionals, such as pediatricians and nutritionists, to ensure we stay up-to-date on best practices. This allows us to provide the latest health and safety information to our families and implement evidence-based strategies.

Our approach to achieving these goals includes:

Serving a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats in each meal and snack.
Limiting sugary snacks and drinks, and offering healthy alternatives such as fresh fruit, yogurt, and cheese.
Incorporating nutrition education into daily activities, including discussions about healthy eating habits and the benefits of nutritious foods.
Collaborating with parents and caregivers to reinforce healthy eating habits at home and ensure consistency in messaging.

As soon as your child is ready for table food, we serve yummy (and nutritious) meals that they’ll love. We firmly believe attitudes about nutrition and fitness are formed early in life. That is why the LOVS staff participates in the Balanced Menus program, which meets or exceeds USDA standards. During snack and lunch time, children discuss the benefits of eating a Balanced Menu consisting of protein, fruits, vegetables and whole grains. A trained Food Service Teacher prepares meals on campus, and your child eats in the comfort and security of his or her classroom in an unhurried setting. LOVS provides an environment that encourages your child to try new, healthy foods.

At LOVS Preschool, we understand that a safe and healthy environment sets the foundation for a child’s growth and development. With our rigorous health and safety program, you can have peace of mind knowing that your child is in good hands. We are committed to fostering a positive and secure learning environment where your child can thrive.
