Child Safety Is Our #1 Priority

Safety Measures

Ensuring the safety and security of all the children at Children of America is our top priority, and we have taken strict measures to ensure that our infrastructure reflects this philosophy. We use one of the most advanced security management software programs on the market today.

Security starts at the door: Parents have to use a Personal Identification Number (PIN) to gain entry into the building. This enables our staff to monitor who drops off and picks up each child and records each child's entry and exit daily. Children are released ONLY to those individuals who have been listed on enrollment records and who have been confirmed by identification check.

Our outside play areas use a rubberized surface* or soft synthetic turf instead of wood chips, sand or gravel. All perimeter and playground gates are locked and monitored so children can enjoy outdoor play safely. Staff members are trained in First Aid and CPR.

We believe safety measures go beyond exterior doors. The safety of our little ones is paramount in our day-to-day world. Below is a sampling of other procedures incorporated into The COA Experience:

Parent Notification

We keep parents informed via text messaging, email, Facebook, Twitter. Furthermore, our website Emergency Alert system is updated showing school closings due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.

School Sanitation

Our schools are professionally cleaned each day using non-toxic cleaning products. Toys are sanitized to help prevent the spread of germs. Diapering is conducted in separate areas away from play & eating areas. We promote hand washing throughout the day and cleaning supplies are locked-up and out of reach.

Emergencies

All personnel are trained in emergency procedures. Each school has an emergency evacuation plan. Monthly fire drills are scheduled for evacuations.

Allergies

We are a peanut and nut-free environment. All child allergies are documented in each child's enrollment form and posted in his or her classroom.

Health & Wellness

When a child is not feeling well, we request parents pick up their child so that others aren't infected. We assess every child's health by communicating with parents and monitoring symptoms. We increase assessments during flu season.

Medications

Medications are stored securely & out of the reach and we have strict policies for administering medication to ensure he/she is protected.

Always Close By - Just a Click Away

The ease and simplicity of the AlwaysCloseBy.com remote monitoring offers that added peace of mind to parents. With access available anywhere, anytime family members can simply logon and view their child in our school setting. First time parents especially love this, as separation from their little one can be scary the first time around. ACB is password protected and is accessible on all mobile devices.
