As a parent, one of your top priorities is ensuring the safety and well-being of your children, especially when they are in someone else’s care. When it comes to choosing a child care center, it is essential to look for facilities that provide a secure and stimulating environment. We want to share our beliefs for operating a secure child care center, and how these measures can give you peace of mind while your little ones are away from home.
The first line of safety for any child care center is secure fencing. The presence of a sturdy fence that exceeds the state requirements for height—especially when attached to the building itself—creates a protective barrier and restricts unauthorized access to the premises. This measure not only prevents children from wandering away, but also ensures that visitors cannot enter without proper authorization.
We have a double-door system in place at Westview Child Care Center’s entrance. Therefore, the chances of accidental openings or intrusions is significantly reduced. We are adamant about fortifying a secure environment for your children.
The integration of video surveillance systems allows parents to remotely check-in on their children in real-time; providing an added sense of security. We will offer live-streaming video from our facility’s cameras through a secure online platform so that parents can log in at any time and observe their child’s classroom activities discreetly. This transparency fosters trust and ensures parents are constantly connected with their child’s daily experiences.
In today’s digital age, child care centers can take advantage of technology to enhance communication and engagement. Providing each parent with a distinct URL to log into their child’s classroom creates a personalized and convenient experience.
This secure online portal enables parents to access important updates, view schedules, communicate with teachers, and gain insight into their child’s daily activities. Access to this portal promotes a collaborative relationship between parents and caregivers.
Our open-door policy means that parents are welcome to visit the facility at any time—without prior notice. This policy fosters a strong sense of trust between parents and caregivers, and allows parents to actively participate in their child’s care and education journey. Parents can gain a deeper understanding of their child’s care environment by having the freedom to observe their child and their interactions in the classroom.
When it comes to choosing a child care center, the safety of your little ones is paramount. Our safety measures not only provide a sense of security, but also enable parents to actively participate in their child’s day. Remember to thoroughly assess these safety features when selecting a child care center. Westview has created a distinctively nurturing environment that ensures the well-being of your child, protects them during play, and shares every moment and memory with you as a parent.
