COLD AND FLU SEASON While October brings beautiful fall colors, pumpkins, and Halloween, it often marks the beginning of the cold and flu season, as well.  We hate the idea of your little ones getting sick and want you to know that we do everything possible at The Nest to help keep them healthy.  Maintaining a clean and sanitary environment is very important to us and is one way we can help prevent the spread of germs.  At The Nest we adhere to a regular cleaning cycle throughout the day, in which surfaces and toys are disinfected and sanitized routinely, and frequent hand washing is required among staff and children. If your child is sick, we ask that you keep him or her home until they are well for at least 24 hours prior to visiting The Nest.  To review our Wellness Policy, please refer to our Parent Handbook or FAQs on our website.  Whether you're celebrating a birthday party or a special occasion, host your event in our 4,000 square foot play center. Our facility offers plenty of space for exploration and entertainment.  For more information, please click here.  For up to date information about our play and learning center, visit www.thenestkids.com or give us a call at 425.415.NEST (6378).
