Cleanliness and Illness Prevention Policy
Cleanliness and Illness Prevention Policy
At Little Larks™, we take the health and safety of every child seriously. Our daily operations are guided by strict hygiene standards and illness prevention practices to ensure that our Montessori-style home childcare environments remain clean, safe, and welcoming.
Daily Sanitation Protocols
Daily Sanitation Protocols
Our daycare spaces are cleaned with purpose—doorknobs, tables, and toys are disinfected with child-safe products. Bedding is washed; hands are washed at every key moment. It’s not just hygiene—it’s how we teach respect for shared spaces.
Health & Illness Procedures
Health & Illness Procedures
Every morning, we check in—gentle wellness checks and quick parent chats. Sick kids stay home. We ask for a 24-hour symptom‑free window before return. If a child becomes unwell during the day, we call right away.
Health & Backup Care
Health & Backup Care
When caregivers are unwell, they stay home—just like the children. If needed, Little Larks™ may provide a certified, trained substitute. Quality of care and child safety always come first.
