Building Safety Procedures:

In the event of a building evacuation or drill or other emergencies, the children will be asked to stay with our staff.  The children may NOT leave with their parents, but the parents are welcome to join the group. Child Watch staff practice emergency drill procedures every three months and are prepared to handle emergency situations.

If you have any questions please let us know. The child watch staff takes pride in keeping all children safe, healthy, and happy!
