- In the event of an emergency, which requires the evacuation of the center, the children will be taken to Sanctuary Centre for the Arts (209 Ridge Road North), the phone number there is 289-321-0502. Staff will be required to bring all emergency binders and outdoor bags with them to the alternate location. Once at the location, staff will be required to call parents/guardians to notify them on the situation.
- Should an accident occur, the center staff will seek the necessary medical assistance as well as inform the parent/guardian. In the event that your child has to be taken to a hospital or a doctor’s office, you will be informed by telephone. You will assume the care of your child at the center, or meet your child and accompanying staff member at the hospital. In the best interest of the child, we will seek emergency medical treatment for your child, if we cannot contact you at the telephone numbers recorded in our files.
- The staff will complete an Accident Report describing the nature of the accident and you will be requested to sign this form to acknowledge that you were informed of the incident. If you refuse your copy, this will be noted on the report and stored in the child’s file.
Top of the Ridge Day Care does have an emergency management policy, stating our policy and procedures may an emergency occur, if you would like to read the full policy, please let the Supervisor/Designate know.
