Coleen, it’s great that you emphasize the importance of showcasing the classroom stations and how the children engage with them. However, I would suggest leading with safety procedures as the primary focus of the tour. Highlighting the safety measures first demonstrates the program’s commitment to the well-being of the children, which is often the top priority for prospective parents. You can then follow up with the classroom stations and activities to show how the safety procedures are integrated into the learning environment. This approach would assure parents that their child’s safety is a top priority in your program.

Overall, your approach to highlighting safety procedures is a good start, and it’s important to cover all aspects of safety during the tour.
