Safe to explore.
Free to grow.
Children learn best when they feel safe, comfortable and cared for. At Central Kids, thoughtful supervision, clear procedures and attentive care are built into the rhythm of every day.
Safety is part of the plan.
From arrival to pick-up, our policies and procedures are designed around the health, safety and well-being of the children in our care.

Trust
Care begins with preparation.
A safe daycare environment does not happen by accident. It requires attentive educators, clear procedures, ongoing communication and thoughtful preparation.
Our safety practices are designed to help our team respond consistently to everyday needs while also being prepared for unexpected situations.
Children first.
Every safety procedure has one central purpose: protecting the health, safety and well-being of the children entrusted to our care.
We also believe children should still have freedom to play, explore, move and learn within a well-supervised environment.
Safety woven into the day.
Our procedures help create consistency for children, parents and educators from arrival through departure.
Active Supervision
Educators actively supervise children during play, activities, transitions and outdoor time to support their safety and well-being.
First Aid Supplies
First aid supplies are maintained and checked regularly so essential items are available when needed.
Controlled Pick-Up
Children are released according to established safe release procedures designed to protect each child during departure.
Health Practices
Health monitoring, illness procedures and communication with parents help support a healthy environment.
Incident Procedures
Incidents are responded to, documented and reported according to established procedures and applicable requirements.
Facility Checks
Play areas and equipment are checked for safety concerns and maintained to support a safe environment.
Looking out for each child.
Central Kids has procedures for monitoring children's health, responding to illness and communicating with families when concerns arise.
A visual health check is part of arrival, helping staff notice visible signs of illness or changes that may require follow-up.
Health procedures include
Safe from hello to goodbye.
Arrival and departure are important parts of keeping children safe.
Careful at pick-up too.
Central Kids has established procedures for the safe release of children so staff can confirm that children leave the daycare appropriately and safely.
If an authorized person appears unable to provide safe care, staff follow procedures designed to protect the child's well-being and seek an appropriate alternative arrangement.
Prepared for the unexpected.
Emergency planning helps our team respond calmly, consistently and with children's needs at the centre.
Emergency Procedures
Staff follow established emergency procedures when situations require immediate action.
First Aid & Care
Children continue to receive supervision, comfort, first aid and necessary care while families are being contacted or arriving.
Family Contact
Communication with parents and guardians is an important part of responding to emergencies and significant incidents.
Teaching, guiding and helping children grow.
Behaviour guidance at Central Kids is designed to help children learn appropriate behaviour, make better choices, solve problems and develop healthy social skills.
Our approach focuses on guidance rather than simply punishment.
Children need room to move.
Active play is an important part of our daily program. Children participate in indoor and outdoor physical activity designed to support health, development and social interaction.
Play areas are supervised, equipment is checked and activities can be adapted to help children participate safely.
Active and supervised
Our program includes a minimum of 60 minutes of active play each day. Outdoor play occurs daily when weather conditions permit.
Activities include a mix of structured and unstructured play, giving children opportunities to move, explore and develop physical skills.
Parents are part of the care team.
Families are encouraged to communicate changes in their child's health, allergies, medications, routines or other needs that may affect their care.
Central Kids also communicates policies, procedures and relevant updates with families so parents can understand how their child is being cared for.
Come see how we care.
