NCWVCAA Head Start and Early Head Start program feels safety is one of the number one priorities of this program. To ensure the safety of the children, families and staff, the program provides ongoing safety mitigations in a variety of ways. All staff are trained on an ongoing basis to ensure facilities and playground safety. This includes classrooms, buses, kitchens, bathrooms, etc. Training also occurs for emergency responses including CPR/FA, monthly drills, active supervision, Child Abuse and Neglect, and Medication Administration. Through preventative maintenance, the program completes daily, weekly, monthly, and annual checks in various positions to ensure ongoing safety checks occur. Ongoing safety resources are also available to families and staff monthly in forms of Safety and Health Newsletters or on an individual basis as needed.
