Fire Drill Procedure Steps

  1. The teachers will ensure that the children file out of the centre promptly. 

2.  On the way out assigned teachers will check rooms and close doors to empty rooms, count the children and take the attendance and Fire Drill binders, located at sig-in/out area. 

3.  The assigned teacher will take First Aid Kit and Medication (as per Care Plans). 

4.  The group will stay on the sidewalk at the front of the facility. In the event of real fire, the group will move up to the parking area away from the buildings. If fire alarm went off while children are outside, the teachers will lead children to the emergency exit of the playground and out to the parking area of the building. Do not enter the building for any reasons.  

5.  The teachers will count the children and do a ‘roll call’.

6.  911 will be called by the teacher, if this is a real emergency, using the cellular phone or from the other tenancy of the building.

7. The teachers will discuss recent fire drill with the children, notifying what was done and what can be done better next time. After discussion the teacher will announce it is safe to go back.

8.  The teachers will file in with the children and resume daily activities.

9.  The manager will record the date and time of the drill in the Fire Drill binder.

Record the dates and time of the drill in the ‘Fire Drill’ red binder.

PLAYGROUND SAFETY MEASURES

*Remember to do "roll call" before taking children to the playground or for a walk and confirm with the attendance book that all children are present. 

Upon arrival at the playground scan the ground and your surroundings for potential hazards, hazardous items, slippery or unsafe surfaces. 

Keep counting children while outside and right before going back inside. 

Ensure the gate is always closed.
