Christ Lutheran Learning Center (CLLC) cares for your child like you would.
Education and development are very important, but we know that nothing matters more than the security, safety, and health of your child. That is why protection, preparedness, and health are critical considerations in everything we do.
Security
✦ Christ Lutheran Church has installed a security system for the safety of our preschool, staff and congregation. During school hours all exterior doors are kept locked. To enter the building you must ring the door bell to gain access. Once you have enrolled your child at our preschool, you will be entered into our security system which will then allow you to enter the building without having to ring the doorbell. ✦ We conduct criminal background checks on all staff members to help ensure a safe and trustworthy environment.
✦ Every CLLC staff member is certified in CPR and First Aid. ✦ We have an established emergency preparedness plan in place. We practice age-appropriate fire, severe weather, and lockdown drills, and we also maintain a contingency plan for emergency evacuations.
✦ Written permission is required before anyone other than parents or designated individuals may pick up your child from school. Anyone picking up a child who is not known to the school staff will be asked to show photo identification before the child will be released.
✦ We strive to provide the best, most honest care and education for your child.
Safety
✦ We strive to ensure the safety of our students through constant supervision, effective arrangement of space, and proper maintenance of equipment. We ensure that all exits remain clear and accessible, use safety gates when necessary, and cover electrical outlets, to name a few examples.
✦ Smoke detectors and fire extinguishers are located throughout our building.
✦ Our playground equipment is safe, sturdy, and inspected monthly to ensure it remains secure and in good working condition. We provide safe fall zones with soft landing areas in case your child takes a tumble. The playground is enclosed with a fence to help ensure the safety of children during outdoor activities. Our playground adheres to all federal safety guidelines.
Health
✦ In order to keep our students healthy, we plan and conduct an effective child development program designed to meet the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive needs of each child. We strive to create a pleasant, inviting classroom atmosphere where children feel comfortable and secure.
✦ Our staff assesses each child’s health daily by communicating with parents and monitoring for symptoms of illness. A child who becomes ill while at CLLC will be removed from the classroom to limit exposure to others. The child will be sent to the office to wait for a parent to arrive.
✦ We encourage children to eat healthy foods and wash their hands throughout the day by teaching lessons about health and hygiene.
✦ We clean our center each day with safe, non-toxic cleaning products. We also sanitize toys daily to help prevent the spread of germs.
Scraped knees are a part of growing up, but you can have confidence that your child is cared for in a safe, secure, nurturing environment everyday. For additional information please refer to our Parent Handbook.
