Safety and Security

Use of a FAMILY CODE: Upon enrollment you will be asked to give a 4 digit code that will be used to identify a caller as an authorized family authority. This code will be used most often when we receive verbal directives over the telephone. Please, do not give this code to anyone. Here at the Center we will keep this code in your child’s enrollment file and we will need to look it up each time you call.

In the event that we notice that the person picking up a child is in any way incapacitated we will make every effort possible to work with that person to arrange for different transportation. If a workable arrangement can not be made, we will notify the police department for assistance.

FIRE: Children will participate in fire drills once a month. When weather warrants we will evacuate outdoors. Evacuation routes are posted in each room.

WINTER STORMS: It is our decision that if the local schools/MnDOT professionals determine that children/adults should not be on the roads due to heavy snow then we will support that system and abide by their direction. Listen for Winter Storm Warnings to be prepared. Should the local school district close (Hopkins) or close early DUE to SNOW then we will also be closed. Should they close due to cold or other reasons we will make a case by case decision on what to do. In most cases, we will be open.
