Overview of our health and safety measures, sick policies, emergency procedures, and trainings.
Our Approach to Safety
We take safety seriously — not just in emergencies, but in the small, everyday moments too. From childproofed outlets to secure drop-offs, every part of our space and routine is designed with your child’s well-being in mind.
Marvelous Kids Daycare is a licensed large family daycare operating under California’s Title 22 child care regulations. Our entire team is trained, alert, and genuinely invested in keeping kids safe and happy.
Daily Safety Practices
- 🚪 Locked entry during program hours
- 🔌 Cabinet locks, outlet covers, and non-slip rugs
- 🧯 Up-to-date smoke detectors, carbon monoxide monitors, and fire extinguishers
- 📝 Quarterly fire and earthquake drills (kids think it’s a game — we know better)
Health & Hygiene
- 🧼 Toys, tables, and high-touch surfaces sanitized daily
- 🫧 Fragrance-free wipes and toddler-safe cleaning products
- 🖐️ Handwashing before/after meals, after bathroom use, and outdoor play
We also maintain a clean and clutter-free space that allows for safe movement, exploration, and supervised activities.
Wellness & Sick Policy
We love having your child here — but only when they’re feeling well enough to fully participate.
- 💡 Fever over 101°F, vomiting, diarrhea, or an unexplained rash? We’ll call you for pickup.
- ✅ Children may return 24 hours after symptoms subside without medication.
- 🪮 Lice must be treated twice before returning to care.
We’ll always notify you promptly and work with you to make the return-to-care process smooth and supportive.
Allergies & Medications
We are a nut-free facility and take allergy protocols very seriously.
- 📋 Prescription medications require written permission and instructions
- 💊 Over-the-counter medications require a signed authorization form and will be administered per label instructions
- 🚨 Emergency plans are in place for children with severe allergies
CPR, First Aid, and Ongoing Training
All staff are certified in Infant/Child CPR and First Aid, with regular renewals and continuing education in early childhood wellness, SIDS prevention, and child passenger safety. We stay ready — even if we hope to never need it.
In Case of Emergency
If an emergency arises, we’ll:
- Provide first aid and call 911 if needed
- Notify you immediately via phone or Lillio
- Use our approved emergency contacts if you’re unavailable
Your child’s safety is never an afterthought here — it’s the foundation of everything we do.
