Inside The Academy: Where Health and Safety Shine

Childcare isn’t just a service; it’s a cornerstone of modern life that empowers parents to pursue their goals while ensuring their children are nurtured and safe. At The Academy, we understand that your child’s safety is your top priority—and it’s ours too. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive health and safety program that not only meets but exceeds expectations, creating a secure, joyful environment where your child can thrive.

Our Safety Culture:

At The Academy, health and safety aren’t just checkboxes; they’re the heartbeat of everything we do. From the earliest stages of planning, we designed our program around an industry-leading safety culture, making it the foundation of our Academy experience.

Safety By Design

Every detail of our classroom design ensures that learning, exploration, and safety go hand in hand. With child-friendly furnishings, non-toxic materials, and safety-first layouts, your child can freely explore and grow in a secure environment—giving you peace of mind that they’re in safe, nurturing hands. The classroom layouts allow for enhanced supervision due to the maximized visibility; our educators are always Intune with the children in the classroom. Your child’s safety is ensured with our local network camera system, secure keyed access, and a protected entry vestibule.

Health-First Spaces

  • Sanitization Excellence: We go beyond the basics, equipping classrooms with dishwashers to keep items like water bottles spotless.
  • Hygienic Materials: Our seamless quartz countertops are not just easy to clean; they’re designed to be effortlessly hygienic.
  • Dedicated Infirmary: Our first aid room, equipped with everything from child-height sinks to an AED, ensures that children can rest comfortably under the care of our trained staff.
