Find Quality Daycare For Your Child – Part Two

Security, Safety and Health

Security, safety and health are common concerns when evaluating a daycare center. Many centers are designed with just one entrance that is situated away from the classrooms. La Petite Academy is one such center that has a separate lobby entrance. Classrooms can only be accessed by those with the combination to the coded keypad security system. Each child at La Petite is checked in and out via electronic key pad every day. Only parents and other persons authorized to pick up and drop off a child are given a pin number. All visitors are required to state the purpose of their visit, sign a visitors log and show proper identification. Anyone picking up a child at the La Petite Academy that is not familiar with the staff is required to show proper identification. Staff members also keep on file an updated list of all persons allowed to pick up and drop off each individual child. Tutor Time, another national daycare center boasts a Safe’n’Sound system which stores and gives staff instant access to important medical and authorization information. Tutor Time also utilizes security cameras and observation windows so that all children can be closely monitored. These security and tracking measures are what a parent should look for in a quality daycare center. A daycare center with lax security policies should be a red flag for any parent. Parents need to be interested and stay well informed of the daycare environment for their child.
