Covid Safety Protocols
INIC Preschool is committed to a safety-first mindset. Enhanced disinfection and social distancing measure are zealously monitored and enforced.
Health and safety standards include frequent disinfecting procedures. Staff are required to take extensive actions in classrooms, including washing hands after every transition, meal, and nap.
Daily routines include modified drop-off and pick-up procedures, disinfecting throughout the day, and deep-clean disinfecting before every new school day.
INIC staff uses a specialized cleaning product from DIS.IN.FX on a daily basis. The product not only disinfects surfaces and toys immediately, it also continues disinfecting after surfaces and toys are touched again. Dis.In.Fx also visits INIC in person for a monthly school-wide treatment.
