Safety Procedures
Big and Tiny follows our health essentials guidelines, a set of standard operating procedures that can help mitigate the spread of potential infection throughout our Studios. This includes precautions and recommendations for COVID-19 which are specifically focused on social distancing, disinfection, wellness education, and symptom monitoring. These protocols may vary based on region and the level of outbreak in the area. The goal of health essentials is to uphold the highest level of health precautions and cleanliness for proper child care delivery.
