Safety

We keep it tight around here. Breathe easy.

Every part of a Pop-in is designed for a smooth handover, safety and well-being, cleanliness, and perfect peace of mind.

The people

Our staff really puts the care in caregiver.

W-2 employees

Every caregiver is on payroll at Poppins. Hired and trained for this specific care work, not gig workers booked through an app.

CPR and First Aid certified

Current certification for every caregiver on the floor, refreshed on schedule.

Background checked

Cleared before their first shift, and food-handler permitted for meal service.

Protocol savvy

From sanitation to state-required reporting, each caregiver meets a high expectation of compliance with Poppins and state procedures.

“I’ve been so impressed with their protocols, communication, facility and staff. My daughter has fun and feels safe here.”

The license

Proudly licensed by the State of Utah.

Utah Administrative Code R430

Poppins operates under a valid childcare license issued by the State of Utah, and complies with the Child Care Licensing rules plus all applicable federal, state and local regulation.

Inspected? Check check check.

Compliance covers health and safety, supervision, caregiver qualifications, facility requirements and emergency procedure.

Staffed to licensed ratios

We staff to Utah’s licensed ratios, grouped Under 2 and 2-and-Over, for every hour we are open and monitored by our software.

Immunization records on file

Required per Utah childcare guidelines for every child. Utah parents can pull theirs from the Docket app in about a minute.

Security

We know who’s coming and going.

Continuous video and audio

Monitored in every care area, all day for safety. (Never in restrooms or diapering areas).

A door code just for you

Your code arrives with your booking confirmation and works only your window.

We know the ins and outs

A child is not signed in until a caregiver has received and acknowledged them, and not let go until the pickup person is verified.

ID at every pickup

Children are released only to the people you authorized, and we check government-issued ID every time.

Health

Feeling good in the neighborhood.

Children need to be well enough to join in normally. Parents keep them home with any of these, and bring them back after 24 hours symptom-free without medication.

We take allergy awareness seriously as well, though we can’t promise an allergen-free room.

At check-in

Health check
Fever at 99.5°F or higher sends a child home
A few questions about the night before
Vomiting or diarrhea in the last 48 hours, unexplained rash, eye discharge
Breathing and energy checked
Persistent cough, difficulty breathing or unusual lethargy
Anything new goes on their record
So the next caregiver picks up where the last one left off

Through the day

Hands washed on a schedule
Before food, after diapering, after outside, and any time in between
Toys sanitized between groups
Anything mouthed goes straight into a bin and out of rotation
Surfaces wiped down hourly
Tables, mats, door handles and the climbing structure
Diapering in its own area
Sanitized after every change, and never where food is handled
A child who turns symptomatic is separated
Comfortable, supervised, and you get a call right away

Around food

Every caregiver is food-handler permitted
Utah permit, current, before their first shift
Allergies flagged on the child’s profile
Visible to every caregiver on the floor, every visit
We tell you what is on the table
