Our Commitment To Safety

Here at Little Scholars, we take the safety of everyone seriously. We have put protective measures in place throughout our centers.

Now, more than ever, maintaining a safe, clean, secure facility is vital. We have been committed to this cause from day one, and we are fully transparent so that parents can check in at any time.

Cleanliness Protocols

We use industry-grade cleaning solutions and practices to prevent the spread of germs while teaching children healthy hygiene habits like regular handwashing.

Security

We strictly limit access to our facility to authorized personnel and parents and family members who have express permission to be here. Your child’s safety is our top priority.

Transparency

We understand that you’re probably wondering what your child is up to when they’re not with you. That’s why we are in constant communication with our families via a personalized Procare app that allows you to see photos and videos, check in on their activities, and directly message your child’s teachers and administrators.
