Laysha, it’s great that you highlighted the warm welcome and introduction to the classroom and teachers during the tour. However, it’s important to also emphasize specific safety procedures, such as emergency evacuation routes, supervision on the playground, and procedures for signing in and out. These are crucial aspects that prospective parents will want to know about to ensure their child’s safety in the program.

Emma’s response is comprehensive and addresses several important safety procedures that would be important to highlight during a tour for prospective parents. She mentions the presence of gates in classrooms and explains their purpose in relation to fire exits, which is crucial for ensuring the safety of the children. Additionally, Emma emphasizes the cleanliness and sanitation protocols in place, including the use of age-appropriate toys and the cleaning of mouthed objects to prevent the spread of germs. She also mentions the certifications held by staff members and the teacher to child ratio, both of which are important factors for parents to consider when evaluating a program’s safety measures. Overall, Emma’s response demonstrates a good understanding of the key safety procedures that should be highlighted during a program tour.
