I would welcome the family to the facility. Showing them the multiple fire exits and evacuation routes, our maintained safe facility outdoors and indoors. Fences, windows, doors, locks, outlets all in the safe working fashion for school. That the safe areas for children to play are with developmentally safe and appropriate toys, that all harmful substances (cleaning supplies, permanent markers, et al.) are out of reach.

Children have safe areas to walk through classes, no hazards to impede their ability to move around the classroom and access materials.
