Providing a safe and secured environment to all of our children is a very high priority for Nelly’s Childcare & Preschool.  We strive to ensure safety in all aspects including daily sanitizing of toys, frequent handwashing, having all of our staff trained in Pediatric CPR and First Aid and appropriate supervision at all times.  

In addition to the above, our school has a secure key pad system to allow entrance to our parents during school hours. Visitors are welcome through appointments only and are escorted by staff while touring our facilities. Our campus also monitors classrooms and playgrounds via closed circuit cameras.  Monthly fire drills and biannual earthquake drills are also performed to ensure proper response in case of an emergency evacuation.  

****Please note that during the COVID-19 Outbreak, policies in regards to visitors have been updated. Please check our COVID-19 Protocols in our home page for more information****
