Safety and Security
Every parent can leave their child with us knowing that we take extra precautions to provide a safe, clean, secure environment for their child. It is Small Wonder’s NUMBER ONE priority. We employ a set of safety and security protocols that we strictly enforce. Some of the highlights include:
-
Secure doors and entrances:
Our center is equipped with an electronic access entry system that allows only authorized individuals to enter. Access Codes are changed often and are time sensitive, so even those with codes can only access the school during regular hours. Those without codes must be allowed in by a front desk employee and will be accompanied throughout the building.
-
Identification:
Photo identification is required from all unfamiliar visitors.
No child will be released to any unknown person without written authorization and proper identification.
-
Security Cameras:
Small Wonders is equipped with a state-of-the-art video monitoring system. Cameras are located throughout the center and cover all classrooms, dining room, and playgrounds.
-
Background Checks/Training:
All employees are thoroughly screened and undergo criminal background checks. We are licensed by "Bright From the Start" Department of Early Care and Learning. Our staff completes all required Health & Safety Orientation and First Aid/CPR training, as well as all annual/recurring training required for childcare providers
-
Safe Transportation:
Small Wonders transports children in vehicles approved by the Department of Transportation. Each driver must pass a defensive driving course. Our vehicles are regularly inspected and maintained for safety.
-
Safe Playgrounds:
Our center has high-quality playground equipment that is safe and kid tested.
All fall zones and landing areas have areas with licensing-approved levels of soft surfaces. All playgrounds are age appropriate and age segregated. All outside playgrounds are inside secure fences with locked gates.
