RELEASE OF CHILD TO OTHERS:  Under no circumstances will Giggles Learning Center release a child to anyone not identified or not otherwise known to staff, without specific authorization from the parent.  Parents are asked to check their children in and out electronically utilizing Giggles Learning Center's unique password protected security system that automatically records each child's arrival and departure.  In addition, parents are asked that they be certain the staff is aware of the child's arrival and departure into and out of the classroom.  Parents must escort their child into and out of the school when dropping off or picking up.  Giggles Learning Center will not allow any child to enter or leave without an adult escort.

       

FIRE AND EMERGENCY:  Your child's safety is utmost in our minds.  Our school is equipped with an electronically monitored fire alarm system, fire sprinklers, security cameras, flood lights on the outside of the building and emergency exit lights over all exit doors.  Safety is emphasized regularly in our staff meetings and in all classrooms.  Fire and emergency evacuation drills are conducted periodically.  The emergency evacuation plan and diagram is posted in each room.  In the unlikely event the school is ever severely damaged and considered unsafe, plans are made in advance to evacuate to a safe location nearby.  Should such an emergency occur, the Director will notify you and post a notice at the school.     TRANSPORTATION:  Our vehicles are designed to transport a limited number of children with safety belts for each child.  They are equipped with a fire extinguisher, and a first aid kit.  A transportation checklist is used each time the children enter or exit the vehicle.  Each child's medical record, name, address, phone number, and emergency numbers are on record in the vehicle with the staff person in charge.  our vehicles are routinely inspected to insure proper maintenance and they are inspected daily before they are driven.  All staff members who qualify to drive the vehicles have the proper license, current C.P.R. and First Aid Training, and have been tested in road safety.
