I would show them intentionality of a safe, nurturing space, the garden, backyard learning spaces (after hours), and an overview of our program philosophy. I would also show them samples of art work,types of reading books, active play.

[Kaylie]

I would them a tour of the classroom specifically pointing out the first aid kid, the fire alarm, the fire exits and other safety signs put up in the classroom.

[Malivanh Rajsavong]

While interacting with the family, during a tour of the classroom I would make it a point to show the entrance/exit, bathrooms, and safety precautions we take in the room to ensure every child’s safety (keeping hazardous things out of reach of children, etc).

[Eva]

I would welcome them and familiarize them with the environment. I would discuss our safety procedures and cleaning procedures. I would ask about any questions or concerns they may have and do my best to answer and address them. Most importantly, I would want to assure them that their child’s well being is a priority for us.

[Alena]

1. I would introduce the system of safe entry and exit to the building (no strangers can enter).

2. In the classroom, I would draw their attention to safe furniture (for example, cabinets and shelves attached to the walls). I would show the children’s playground outside.

3. I would show you the toys and educational materials that we use in the classroom with children.

4. I would introduce you to the daily schedule and menu (children’s meals) for the week.

5. I would introduce you to the safety protocol for storing medical and chemical substances and tell you about our schedule for cleaning premises and sterilizing equipment, toys, rugs, and mattresses.

[Kylie Zajdel]

I would highlight our alarm system, easy to access first aid kit, our outdoor go bag, and I would also point out how everything is at kid level so they should not have to climb to reach anything and risk tipping over.

[Durva Patil]

During a prospective parent tour, I would want to highlight the main activities that students partake in such as outdoor/indoor play, nap time, and lunch+snack time. Show them the kinds of toys available to play with and an example of daily activities. Also a quick run down on safety procedures in case of emergency.

[Chloe]

Our center is tucked into the woods. We have lots of outdoor play space, but we do need to check for wildlife. I would want to explain to parents how staff members check the deeper parts of the woods before children go in. I would also point out how our kitchen, laundry, and garbage is all gated and locked so children can’t get into it.

[Corey]

After welcoming them in, I would point out important things, such as our first aid kits, our cleaning routines, and the exits. I would explain to them our systems for the bathrooms and for making sure no children are left alone with either another child or a staff member one-on-one, and I would explain our process of checking out the children

[Isabella]

After welcoming the family and getting introduced to each other, I would give the tour making sure to point out exits/entrances, first aid kits, safety procedures we have for each area, as well as bathrooms and any areas that are closed off to children. I would show the difference between our inside and outside areas and point out that our safety procedures are more cautious outside.

[Habiibo Saneey]

During a tour of my child care program, I would prioritize highlighting several safety procedures to assure prospective parents of their child’s well-being. First and foremost, I would emphasize our strict check-in and check-out procedures, ensuring that only authorized individuals can pick up the children. Additionally, I would showcase our secure outdoor play area, where we prioritize supervision and age-appropriate equipment to minimize risks during outdoor activities. Inside the facility, I’d point out our childproofed spaces, including locked cabinets for cleaning supplies and secure safety gates for staircases. It’s also crucial to mention our adherence to proper handwashing and hygiene practices to prevent the spread of illnesses among the children. Lastly, I would assure parents of our commitment to emergency preparedness, including regular fire drills and first-aid training for staff, demonstrating our dedication to providing a safe and nurturing environment for their child.

[Maria Bernal]

To guarantee the success of the tour I will show the family that all facilities are safe for children and staff. I would show them that there are sufficient first aid kits in the classrooms, the emergency exits free of obstructions and signs are visible, hallways have proper lighting and free of trip hazards.

[Lia]

I would highlight all safety features that I can think of, some would include things like all outlets and cords being covered/out of reach, handwashing being used during all transitions by teachers and students, and keeping age appropriate toys and no coking hazards in classrooms.

[Winter Clark]

I would maintain that our facility has a secure entering and exit procedure, we have transition tracking as well as key cards to get in each wing of the building. Also these key cards allow us to get into the front door. This helps avoid any random strangers from entering the building at any given time. We also make sure the inside door is locked with a key on hand when we are outdoors. That way children cannot run in and out of the building whenever they please.

[Stephanie]

I’d welcome them into the class and show them the entrances/exits, play areas, kids’ bathroom, sink, and outdoor fenced play area.
