1 Safety Measure For Your Daycare

The most important thing in your daycare are the children. You are entrusted with the safety and you need to take special care that this is something you do not fail at.

One of the things you need to make sure of is that you only allow certain people to pick up children from your daycare. After all, there can be several family members who may come to pick up a child from your day care center. You may not know them all to begin with.

Giving a child to the wrong person may lead to abduction and serious consequences. To avoid that, you need to implement 1 important safety rule. I call it the Picture Rule.

For each child you need a folder of names and pictures. These are the people who are authorized to pick up this child. They and no other. If someone comes to pick up a child and you don't have a current picture of he or she in your folder, you should never allow them to take the child away.

Make sure to tell all the parents about this rule and explain to them why it's important. It's a small hassle and can help to keep your daycare a safe environment.
