Safety

Safe, licensed care in a warm home setting.

Safety is built into the space, the routines, and the way we care for children every day. From childproofing and emergency planning to sick policies and safe sleep, we keep important safety routines clear and consistent.

Licensed care

Licensed, accountable, and prepared.

Marvelous Kids Daycare operates as a licensed Large Family Child Care home in Santa Clara. Our license number is #434416790.

  • Licensed Large Family Child Care home
  • Childproofed spaces designed around toddler movement
  • CPR, First Aid, and SIDS prevention training
  • Emergency procedures and parent communication expectations
  • Background checks completed in compliance with licensing standards

Why this matters

A licensed home daycare gives families a smaller, more personal environment while still operating within California child care licensing standards.

Daily safety practices

Safety is part of the daily rhythm.

Childproofed home

Safety locks, outlet covers, secured hazardous items, and daycare spaces designed for toddlers.

Health routines

Handwashing, regular sanitizing, diaper checks, sick policies, medication procedures, and immunization requirements.

Emergency ready

Smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguisher, first aid kits, emergency contacts, and drills.

Active supervision

Children are supervised by sight or hearing, with extra attention during meals, transitions, naps, and outdoor play.

Sick policy

Clear illness rules protect the whole group.

Children must stay home or be picked up when they have symptoms that make group care unsafe or uncomfortable.

  • Fever of 101°F or higher
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Unexplained rash
  • Contagious symptoms or illness
  • Lice, until treated according to policy

Pickup and return

If a child becomes sick during the day, parents must arrange pickup within one hour.

Children may return 24 hours after symptoms have subsided, consistent with our handbook policy.

Safe sleep & quiet time

Rest is part of wellness too.

Quiet time is built into the day from 12:15 PM to 2:15 PM. Younger children rest in designated safe sleeping spaces, while older children may rest or use quiet activities.

  • Each child has a designated rest space
  • Infants sleep on their backs in pack-and-plays
  • Parents provide appropriate bedding such as a fitted crib sheet
  • Children are supervised during rest and quiet time

Health details

Medication, immunizations, and pickup rules need to be clear.

Health information, immunization records, allergies, emergency plans, and medication instructions must be current and clear before care begins.

  • Age-appropriate immunizations are required by California law
  • Prescription medication requires written permission and instructions
  • Non-prescription medication requires parental permission
  • Children are released only to authorized pickup adults

Safety cameras

Internal safety cameras are used for provider monitoring only and are not live-streamed to families.
