Upon arrival, I’ll first show them the safety gates placed at the building’s doorways. Inside the classroom, I’ll explain the organization and labeling system for our supplies. I’ll also point out where we keep our emergency contact information, medication, and first aid kit. In the outdoor play area, I’ll direct them to the safety gates and doors. Additionally, I’ll show them the helmet rack, where each helmet is labeled with a child’s name. Finally, I’ll outline our procedure for reporting and managing incidents.

I would inform them of the staff-to-child ratio to ensure them that their child is always supervised.

I think it’ll bring them comfort knowing what their child will be accessing daily in the classroom.
