Health And Safety

Orchard Ridge Nursery School has enacted the following policies to ensure a healthy and safe environment:

• Classrooms are disinfected twice a day with child-safe, non-toxic cleaning products.
• Children wash their hands when they arrive at school and at other critical points during the day to reduce the spread of germs.
• We provide well-balanced, healthy snacks.
• ORNS has a strict peanut and tree nut-free policy.
• We accommodate all other food allergies by providing an alternative snack option.
• We train all our staff in CPR, first aid, and universal precautions.
• All staff and parent volunteers undergo appropriate background checks.
• ORNS teaches all children that only adults may open doors and gates.
• All outside doors are securely locked, and we change the entrance codes each semester.
