Health and Safety at Meadow Montessori School
Your child’s well-being is at the heart of everything we do. Here’s how we keep children safe and healthy every day.
Meadow Montessori School is licensed by Texas Health and Human Services Child Care Regulation, and our inspection reports are available on the state’s child care search website.
A secure campus
Our front door stays locked throughout the day, and every authorized adult has their own door code. Children are only released to parents or adults on their authorized pickup list, who must show photo ID.
Trusted, trained staff
Every staff member passes a background check and is certified in CPR and First Aid.
Prepared for emergencies
We practice fire drills every month and severe weather and shelter-in-place drills every three months. Our building has a fire and smoke monitoring system, and our emergency plan is available to families in the front office.
Safe outdoor play
Infants and toddlers have their own playground, separate from our older children’s, and both are inspected regularly.
Cameras in every classroom, kept private
Cameras run 24 hours a day around our building and inside every classroom. Parents are welcome to watch live classroom video from our front office.
We value the privacy and safety of every child and family in our care, so we intentionally don’t stream our cameras online. Even password-protected feeds can be shared, hacked, or viewed by people outside your family, and every video shows other people’s children too. Keeping footage securely on our premises means images of young children never leave our building. We believe that’s the safest choice for every child in our care, including yours.
Healthy, clean classrooms
Healthy habits are part of every child’s day. We keep children well with clean classrooms, clear illness guidelines, and careful attention to each child’s medical needs.
Clean, healthy classrooms
We follow consistent cleaning routines using state-approved, child-safe sanitizing methods. Handwashing is part of every child’s day, and our staff follow strict handwashing and glove procedures.
When children are sick
To keep everyone healthy, children with a fever or contagious illness stay home until they’re well. We follow Fort Bend County Health Department guidelines, and our full illness policy is shared with every enrolled family.
Allergies and medical needs
Every child with an allergy or medical condition has an Emergency Action Plan signed by their physician, and our staff are trained every year to prevent and respond to allergic reactions. If a child has a severe food allergy, that food is not allowed in their classroom.
Safe sleep for infants
Babies under 12 months always sleep on their backs, following the Texas “Back to Sleep” policy.

Why aren’t your cameras available online?
We value the privacy and safety of every child and family in our care. Even password-protected camera feeds can be shared, hacked, or viewed by people outside your family, and every video shows other people’s children too. Keeping footage securely on our premises means images of young children never leave our building, while parents can still watch classroom video here at school.

Yes. Every staff member passes a background check and is certified in CPR and First Aid.
How do you handle food allergies?
Every child with an allergy has an Emergency Action Plan signed by their physician, and our staff are trained every year to prevent and respond to allergic reactions. If a child has a severe food allergy, that food is not allowed in their classroom.
When can my child return to school after being sick?
Children with a fever can return once they’ve been fever-free for 24 hours without medication. Some illnesses require a physician’s note before returning. We follow Fort Bend County Health Department guidelines, and our full illness policy is shared with every enrolled family.
