Fire Drills
Unannounced fire drills will be held at the Center. Fire drill purposes and procedures will be discussed with the children.
Procedure: Children will not take anything with them during the drill. The children will walk, single file, behind their teacher through the nearest exit and out Door 6. Outside, all CDC children will meet at the fence leading down to Lot D. Teachers in each room should carry their roll books, and check to make sure all children parent that day are accounted for. If a child cannot be accounted for, a staff member will immediately return to the building for that child.
Children in the Infant Room will be brought out in either one or two beds equipped with evacuation casters, depending on the number of babies present. The director will check each classroom, restroom, kitchen, and Rainy Day Room to verify that all children have been evacuated. Only at the director’s signal will everyone return to the building.
Upon re-entering, all children should be reassured of their safety.
