Your child's safety

At Little Elly centers, we are highly sensitive to the need for cleanliness, hygiene and the security of our children. We are committed to protect the children by deploying evolved security systems that incorporate transparency and common sense. These are some measures that we use to ensure your child's safety:

General Safety:

Children’s outside play area is fully enclosed, while still allowing children to play in plenty of sunlight and fresh air
Availability of fire extinguishers
Use of child friendly furniture and play equipment
Storage of all forms of chemicals (cleaning supplies, pesticides, etc.) and pharmaceuticals out of reach of all children
Availability of 24-hour backup electricity supply
Periodic maintenance of all appropriate appliances and furniture to avoid accidents

In line with international standards, teachers are also trained in emergency evacuation and handling procedures for facilities with small children

Campus safety

Teachers and care providers are on safety duty at all times, including out-of-class areas. To avoid accidents and injury, please do not distract staff; it only takes a second for an accident to happen. If you need to convey some information regarding your child, please speak to the center head.

Play Area Safety:

These areas are provided with soft flooring to enable them to crawl and potter about without fear of hurting themselves if they fall.

Children in play school and higher are provided with an outdoor play area. Artificial soft flooring/sand is provided in the slides area to cushion any injuries from falling.

Outdoor safety

The main gate remains closed always with a security-in-charge guarding the entrance
Parents are encouraged to follow school guidelines and rules at all times
Parents are advised not to send toys, money or books from home unless instructed by the school authorities. The school does not take responsibility for personal items brought in without prior notice
Do not make the child wear expensive jewelry to school. The school will not be responsible for any loss
Field trips are undertaken with a supervisor-student ratio of 2:10. Parents are expected to volunteer to ensure that the ratio is maintained. A staff member will check out the site for safety and hygiene beforehand

Health

A child who is ill will be advised not to attend school
A medical certificate may be required for re-entry to the school after a lengthy illness or a communicable disease
Minor cuts or bruises are handled by the school’s staff and will be reported to the parent when the child is picked up
If your child becomes sick during the day, you will be informed and if necessary you will be required to arrange for your child to be picked up or we will escort your child safely to you
Accidents requiring medical attention will be reported to you immediately. We will escort the child to our/your doctor.
