4.11. Safety and Security

Check In

To provide the highest form of safety and security for our students, they must be electronically checked in/out of the Early Learning Program each day. This process will be explained during the parent orientation at the first week of school and/or as needed.

Restricted Release

If a child is to be released to only one parent, a copy of the court order appointing that parent the only legal custodian and/or restraining order prohibiting a parent from contact with the child must be on file with the Principal of the Early Learning Program.

Drills

• There will be a fire drill at varying times throughout the school year to prepare children for that emergency situation.
• A plan explaining staff actions and responsibilities in case of fire emergency or weather alert is posted in each room that the children use.
• Tornado drills are scheduled monthly April and May.
• The Principal will keep a record of all drills.

Reporting

• Staff members are mandated to report any signs of child abuse or neglect to the local children’s services agency.
• When an accident, injury or any other incident happens at school or the emergency transportation of a child is necessary, the parents will be notified immediately. Each staff member has immediate access to a working telephone within the building and receive the Early Learning Program’s complete Health and Safety Plan prior to employment.
