If an emergency situation develops such as severe weather, fire, physical damage to the building, or any other situation that poses a threat, the safety of the children is our first concern.

The Center is equipped with a weather band radio, a fire alarm sprinkler system and fire extinguishers. Fire and severe weather drills are conducted every 30 days.

If there is an emergency situation and it becomes necessary to close the Center, parents will be notified to make arrangements for early pickup.

If there is inclement weather and it is determined that the Center will not open, parents should tune into WRAL for closing information.

If an emergency situation develops and it is determined that the building or premises are unsafe, your child(ren) will be transported to a safe location. Our school will evacuate to Heritage Middle School in the event of emergency.

Parents will be notified of the situation and you will be required to pickup your child(ren) as soon as possible.

At Kids ‘R’ Kids Learning Academies we use a method of “redirection” to guide your child(ren) toward appropriate behavior. If a child is engaged in behavior not conducive to a safe and happy learning environment, the teacher will “redirect” the child toward appropriate behavior. The use of physical punishment or harsh language is prohibited.

Parents or guardians are required to abide by the Kids ‘R’ Kids Discipline Policy any time they are on Center property.

The relationship between families and school staff is vital to the success of a child’s early learning experience. We believe building a teacher-parent partnership, using open communication, will benefit the child in making a positive connection between school and home.

Families can assist and help ensure a great experience by doing the following:

• Signing children in and out at the front desk and then escorting them to their designated class
• Having all forms completed before the child’s first day of school
• Updating forms as needed when changes occur (i.e. new phone number, address, etc.)
• Keeping staff informed of special needs or changes that might affect the child’s behavior
• Notifying the school if child is ill
• Not bringing an ill child to the school
• Notifying the school if child will be absent
• Notifying the school if you will be later than usual picking up
• Providing a change of clothes marked with child’s first and last name. (School is not responsible for lost clothing)
• Dressing child properly for the weather and play
• Not allowing child to bring toys or outside food
• Participating in the school’s special activities
• Attending scheduled parent meetings and conferences
• Asking questions and addressing concerns as they arise
