CPR/First Aid:
A staff member with CPR and first aid certification will be on-site at all times the children and staff are present. All staff members are required to complete these trainings.
In Case of Medical Emergency (Child):
Parents will immediately be notified in the case of a medical emergency. A copy of each child's record is kept on hand in the ministry office. Every effort will be made to contact the child's parent or guardian before calling the emergency contact listed in the application. These alternate contacts will be called if the child's parent or guardian cannot be reached. If necessary we will transport the child to the hospital of choice via ambulance.
Caregiver Illness or Death:
In the event of a serious illness, serious injury or death of a provider, the ministry director or board will notify the parents.
Fire Drills:
In an attempt to prepare ourselves for the worst, we schedule monthly fire drills. These drills keep the ministry up to code with the local fire marshal and train the children how to best escape from a fire.
Evacuation Plan:
If our building must be evacuated due to fire or other hazard, we will exit the building using the nearest accessible door and will meet on the playground area or in the rear of the building. Once our children have been accounted for and we are cleared to re-enter, we will notify parents of the situation via telephone.
If our building catches fire or is otherwise damaged during operating hours, we will contact a parent, guardian or emergency contact. If a family member cannot be reached, children will be moved to a safe location and a notice will be posted. In the case of a temporary evacuation, the preschool program will be moved to Douglas Park Family Center; 1616 E. 25th St.; 317-327-7174
