Keeping Children Safe, Every Day

The practices behind your peace of mind

Our Commitment

Nothing Matters More

Before a child can learn, play, or make a friend, they have to feel safe, and so do you. Safety at our schools isn't a checklist pulled out for inspections. It's the quiet routine underneath every day, from the front door to the final pickup.

SECURE BY DESIGN

Safe From the Front Door

Entry to every school runs through keypad-access doors, and every child is signed in and signed out by their family, every single day. Release is simple and strict: only the people you've authorized and verified for pick up, every time. It's a routine that takes seconds and removes all doubt.

How We Keep Days Safe

Healthy Habits

A clear illness policy, shared in our family handbook, spells out when children should stay home and when we’ll call you, so there’s never guesswork on a hard morning. Everyday hygiene and handwashing routines are built into the day, and when something’s going around, you’ll know, and you’ll know what we’re doing about it.

Vetted, Trained Teachers

Every employee clears a background check before their first day, no exceptions. Every teacher also completes state training requirements each year, plus ongoing professional development through ProSolutions. The people closest to your child are screened, prepared, and still learning themselves. Safety starts with who’s in the room.

The Right Ratios

We follow the child-to-teacher ratios required by each state, and the younger the children, the more teachers in the room. That’s what makes truly attentive care possible: more eyes during play, more hands at mealtime, more laps at story time. It’s something you’ll notice the moment you walk into a classroom.

Ready for the Unexpected

Every school maintains an emergency preparedness plan, and every team member knows their role before it’s ever needed. From severe weather to a little one with a scraped knee, our teachers are prepared to respond calmly and keep children safe. Being ready is simply part of how we run every day.

Our Teachers

A Safe Day from Start to Finish

Safety here isn’t one moment, it’s the whole day. It starts when the keypad clicks and your child is welcomed by a teacher who knows exactly who’s arriving. It continues through supervised play, healthy routines, and classrooms staffed to state ratios. And it ends the way it began: your child released only to you or the people you’ve chosen, with a real update on their day. None of it is dramatic. All of it is deliberate.

There’s a quieter side to safety, too. Children who know what comes next feel secure, so steady routines and familiar faces do as much protective work as any locked door. When your child feels safe enough to try new things, take small risks in play, and trust the adults around them, that’s safety doing its real job: making room to grow.

"My daughter used to go here many years ago and so I decided to explore options with my youngest son after I had him. They welcome to my son with special needs with open arms and we navigated what was best for him as a team to promote his learning and growth. I'd recommend this facility to anyone that not just has special needs kids but also needs a trustworthy daycare their child, because it has become much more than that!"

"We were referred to this school, and as first-time parents placing our daughter in childcare, we were definitely nervous. From the moment we walked in and met Ms. Dee, we were welcomed with the biggest smile and immediately felt a sense of comfort. We just knew this was the right place for our daughter. Since enrolling almost a year ago, we have been so happy with our decision. Our daughter has grown so much, and it has been amazing watching her learn, become more comfortable, and build relationships with her teachers and friends. Most importantly, we know that when we drop her off, she is surrounded by people who genuinely love and care for her. We are incredibly thankful for Ms. Dee, Mrs. Leticia, and every teacher and team member who has played a part in caring for our daughter. The love they show her is beyond amazing. You can truly tell that they don’t just come to work and take care of children. They genuinely care about each child who walks through those doors. As a parent, especially one who was so nervous about childcare in the beginning, that means more than I can put into words. To any family considering this school, just go ahead and schedule the tour! I promise you won’t be disappointed. Choosing this daycare has been one of the best decisions we could have made for our daughter, and we are so grateful to have found a place where she is loved, cared for, and able to grow."

“I just want to take a moment to brag on the amazing staff at Woodlawn Stonegrove Academy and let them know how truly grateful I am for each and every one of them. ❤️ My son started at Woodlawn Stonegrove when he was only 5 months old, and I know he is not always the easiest baby. 😂 From the very beginning, they welcomed him with open arms, worked with him, were patient with him, and most importantly, loved him like he was their own. As a mom, there is no greater blessing than knowing your child is being cared for and loved when you can’t be the one there with them. I truly could not feel more blessed to have my son surrounded by people who care for him, encourage him, and love him every day. It takes a special kind of person to care for someone else’s child, and I will forever be grateful for the women who pour so much love into my little boy. So, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, Woodlawn Stonegrove Academy! Thank you for loving my baby, being patient with him, making him smile, and giving this mama peace of mind while he’s in your care. You are appreciated more than you know! ❤️”

"We truly could not have chosen a better place for Antonio Ashur. From the very beginning, the teachers and staff have shown him so much love, patience, and genuine care. They don’t just take care of him—they know him. They know his personality, his routines, what makes him laugh, and when something just isn’t quite right. As a mom, there is no greater feeling than being able to leave your child somewhere and know that he is safe, loved, encouraged, and cared for as if he were their own. Watching Ashur grow, learn, become more confident, and light up when he sees his teachers has meant more to us than I can put into words. Ashur has had some extra needs along the way, and his teachers have always been patient, attentive, and willing to work with us. They celebrate his milestones right alongside us, even the little ones that are very big milestones for him. I will forever be grateful for the role this school and its amazing staff have played in his first year of life. I would recommend them to another family without hesitation. Thank you for loving our Antonio Ashur so well. "

How to Choose a School

Choosing care is a big decision. Here's how families usually find their fit.

Identify What Matters Most

Start with your family's needs: location, hours, ages, and the feel you want when you walk in the door. Knowing your priorities makes every other step easier.

Learn about the School

Explore programs, meet the director, and ask your questions, from daily routines to how teachers communicate. Good schools love the questions; they mean you care.

Come See It for Yourself

Nothing beats a visit. Schedule a tour, watch the classrooms in action, and trust what you see and feel. That gut feeling at drop-off matters.

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

How do you control who enters the building?

Every school has keypad-access entry, and families sign their child in and out daily. Visitors don't move through our schools unaccompanied, and children are only released to the adults you've authorized.

We follow a clear illness policy, shared with every family in our handbook, that covers when children should stay home and when we'll call you. It protects your child, their classmates, and their teachers, and it means no surprises.

Only the people you've authorized, ever. You control that list, and your school verifies through ID checks before any child is released. If plans change mid-day, a quick call to your school is all it takes to arrange an authorized alternate, and no one outside your list will ever be allowed access to your child.

Our illness policy, shared with every family in the handbook, lays out exactly when children should stay home and when they can return, so you're never guessing on a rough morning. It exists to protect your child, their classmates, and their teachers, and your school will walk you through it before your first day. If your child starts feeling unwell during their day here, you will be promptly contacted.
