At Centres for Early Learning we know that parents play an important role in a child’s learning and development. Pleae read below to better understand how you can be involved with your child’s learning and development at our centres.
Security System Procedure
How does it work?
- When anyone (visitor, parent, staff member, etc.) arrives at the centre, the entrance door will be locked. This is to prevent unauthorized persons from entering the premises.
- The “visitor” will press the call button/buzzer and all telephone sets will ring inside the centre.
- A designated staff will answer the door. The staff must ask, and verify, who is at the door before it can be unlocked. f you are picking up your child ensure that you give your name and the name of the child you are picking up. If the name is not familiar to the staff, you will be asked to wait a moment while someone authorizes you to enter.
- For child/staff security purposes please do not let anyone in behind you who is unfamiliar or unauthorized.
We look forward to your full support ensuring the added safety and security of the children in your centre.
