Comparing Safety Policies with My Plan versus another Early Child Care Learning Center

I am comparing my safety polices with that of Bright Beginnings Christian Learning Center’s safety policy. Bright Beginnings is a community oriented institution where they seek to accommodate parents who deserve their children to be educated in a Christ-centered environment. They are sponsored by their Church, “Gethsemane Baptist Church”. They are a Christian education and academic institution which offers classes serving three year olds to K-five. The center is committed to providing children with spiritual and academic excellence through the A Beka Curriculum. A Beka book is a Christian curriculum company that produces academic materials for all subject areas. Available for schools and homeschooling families, ABB offers a traditional, biblical education experience for students in preschool through high school (Dennis, K.). Bright Beginnings Christian Learning Center has quite of few safety policies as Knowledge Universe / Champions has. If there are accidents and injuries that occur, the same policy is put in place such as calling 911 and parents when major accidents happen. Or parents or guardians are informed immediately when an injury has occurred. They also have shelter-in-place, an emergency crisis response plan, reverse evacuation plan, and a lockdown in case of an intruder. Also a plan if there is a hostage situation. The strengths that KU / Champions have are that we tell the parents that files are kept confidential as with BB there is not statement saying this policy. Also KU / Champions have a rule about visitors and how it must be approved and they must sign in. Their policy is parents

    To establish and maintain a safe, healthy learning environment I model safety practices and healthy routines in an environment that supports development and growth in these areas. My goal is to provide a clean healthy environment that meets each child’s physical needs. Making sure the classroom and playground are clean and safe at all times reduces the number of injuries of children while they are in my care. One of the ways I do this is by supervising children at all times by sight and sound even during nap times. Making sure all outlets are covered so children can’t access them. I make sure inside as well as outside there is nothing children can harm themselves on such as sharp objects or small items they can choke on. I ensure that all chemicals and cleaning supplies are put away out of the reach of children or stored in locked cabinets. I am certified in First Aid and CPR, which makes me knowledgeable of caring for accidents or injuries.…

    One of my goals is to promote safety and reduce all injuries in a preschool setting all day and every day. This is an important goal for the age group of children in my care because children aren’t aware of all the various types of things there are that might harm them. So childproofing something I do to promote safety for the children in my center. Another big safety precaution I follow is the never turn my back on children policy because if I am aware of what the children are doing more than likely no one will get hurt. Another safety precaution I take is to remind children to use walking feet, nice hands, listening ears, and indoor…

    When it comes down to choosing the best childcare option for your child, the first factor that most parents look at is: what that particular child needs.

The decision of whether to send your child to a commercial daycare center or an in-home family childcare should depend on more than just the need of the child. Parents need to also consider environment, cost, certification, daily schedules, and provider to child ratios.…
