Home Page Child Security Cleanliness

To ensure the safety, security and well being of the children in our care, each Trinity House Christian Childcarehas procedures and standards in place to cover pick-up and drop-off, visitors, equipment and furniture safety, transporting children and more. These procedures are periodically reviewed and updated to make certain they reflect the most current safety and security technology and practices.



Secure Environment

 

The lobby entrance to the center is securely separated from the actual classrooms.


Pick-up and Drop-off

 

Each child must be checked in and out on our electronic keypad every day. We enforce our policy by assigning PIN numbers to parents and others who are authorized to pick up the child. Your Academy Director keeps an updated file of names, addresses and phone numbers of people authorized to pick up children in case of an emergency. No child is released to an adult without proper authorization. Ever.


Note: Trinity House Christian Childcare policy states that no one under sixteen years of age (unless he or she is the child's parent) is permitted to pick-up a child.


Visitors

 

All visitors to our Center are greeted in our secure lobby, directed to sign the Visitor Log and state the purpose of their visit. Picture identification is required from all unfamiliar visitors. A visitor listed as an authorized person to pick up a child must still show picture identification if the Director and/or associate do not know him/her.


Medical Standards

 

Each adult working at Trinity House Christian Childcare must provide evidence of good health with a signed physical examination, tuberculosis test, and other state-mandated requirements. All medical records are periodically updated. Staff members do not work if they are ill.

As for the children, we maintain a complete written record for each child in our care. Pertinent health histories (such as allergies, chronic conditions or susceptibilities) are also required. All health records, immunization records and emergency contacts are kept up to date and easily accessible in case of emergency.


Food Preparation

 

Our Food Preparation Specialists are trained in the safe handling, preparation and storage of foods and are constantly monitored to ensure safe nutritious meals. Meal times are designed to promote good eating habits, and are pleasant social and learning experiences for the children. Teachers eat with their classes. Infants are held while feeding. Toddlers are encouraged to feed themselves. All eating utensils, chairs, and tables are sized appropriately for each age group. Our tables' height may be adjusted proportionately, and they are easily cleaned. Trinity House Christian Childcare works with the USDA to make sure that our menus are nutritionally wholesome.

No hot drinks of any kind are allowed around children, electrical outlets are plugged with outlet caps, appliances are out of reach of children, temperature of the hot water at sinks will not scald, and food temperature is monitored to prevent burns.


Equipment Safety

 

The building, playground, and equipment are as safe as we can make them. Several years of experience and testing have taught us what equipment to buy and how to arrange it for maximum safety, both inside and outside the center.


Child-friendly Furniture

 

Our Center is child friendly - child sized tables and chairs are sturdy and 'non tippable.' There are no sharp corners. Toys and learning areas are carefully arranged. Equipment is monitored on an on-going basis to ensure it is in good working order. Broken or unsafe equipment is always taken out of service immediately to be repaired or replaced.


Transporting Children

 

When transporting children, we focus first and foremost on mitigating risks to children, our associates and parents through standardized processes and procedures.


  •  

The educational and exciting activities we plan are all in secure and kid friendly environments.

  • Parents must give permission for their children to attend the field trip by signing the field trip form at the Center, prior to the field trip.
  • Our teachers keep constant watch over the children and use attendance sheets before they leave the Academy, on the van, periodically during the trip, prior to loading the van to return, on the return van, and at the Center when the trip is over. A copy of the attendance sheet remains at the Center during the trip.
  • Each child has a name tag with all of the Academy information on it to wear during the trip.
