In case of an emergency, the following procedures will be enacted:
Illness or Injury:
If a child becomes ill, he/she will be separated from the other children and allowed to rest. The child’s parent(s) will be contacted and asked to pick up the child as soon as possible. If the parent is not available, the child’s emergency contact will be notified.
|
911
Hands On will call 911 any time we suspect a child is in need of medical treatment. If the child requires transportation to a medical facility, an effort will be made to contact the parent before the child leaves Hands On. However, the health of the child is the primary concern. The child will be transferred to the nearest hospital. |
In the event of an emergency that requires students to leave the building:
Each child will be accounted for in the classrooms and then escorted outside of the building using the nearest exit. Outside teachers will gather children into a group on the sidewalk of SE Harrison.
In the event that we are unable to reenter the building, staff will call parents and wait with the children until each one is picked up by a designated caregiver.
|
In the event of an emergency that requires students to remain inside the building:
All students will be accounted for and teachers will remain with children. Parents and caregivers will be notified if they are unable to enter the building at the regular time. |
Fire Drills and First Aid
All Hands On teachers will be professionally trained in CPR and First Aid. All teachers will have completed a disaster prepardness class. Each room will contain emergency contact forms & numbers for each child, flashlights and first aid kits.
Hands On will be equipped with smoke detectors, overhead sprinklers, exit signs and fire extinguishers.
Teachers and students will practice an emergency evacuation plan. This will be designed to be fun for the children, to help prevent panic in the case of an actual emergency.
Firefighters will visit Hands On to teach children about fire safety. |
