Health & Safety
Thomas
Learning Centers are committed to the health and safety of your
child. Our policies and procedures are strict in this area to ensure
the well-being of every child in our care. For example, we emphasize
hand washing to reduce the spread of germs. We communicate closely
with parents to help prevent infecting other children when contagious
illness is present.
All
of our Centers conduct regular vision and hearing screenings or
offer referrals to qualified agencies. We have a Nurse-on-call available
to consult with each Center on a monthly basis or as needed. All
Center staff is certified in CPR and First Aid and we know how to
respond quickly in case of injury or accident. We are able to administer
medication in many cases, following specific government regulations.
We also conduct monthly fire drills (and tornado drills in season)
to ensure constant preparedness.
We
do regular head counts of the children and constantly monitor all
areas of our Centers to ensure all children are accounted for. Parents
are required to sign children in and to bring the child to a Center
staff member before leaving. Anyone picking up a child must be known
to the staff or authorized by the parent and able to present valid
ID.
Ask
your Center Director for a copy of the Parent Handbook, which provides
full detail of our Health & Safety procedures.
