Health and Safety
Your child’s health and well-being is extremely important to everyone at BBE. Centre staff are trained in and maintain emergency first aid and CPR. Staff/Child Ratio Infants 1:4 (12 weeks - 24 months) Toddler 1:6 (18 months - 24 months) Preschool 1:8 (2 years - 5 years) Kindergarten 1:10 (5 years - 6 years) School Age 1:15 (6 years - 12 years) This means that if staff are unable to travel to BBE due to severe weather conditions or other issues, the Centre may not be able to meet staff/child ratios. As a result, BBE may have to restrict the number of children that can be dropped off at the centre. Children will be accepted on a first-come, first-serve basis, as ratios and staff levels permit. Child care spaces cannot be reserved over the phone. Children must be in attendance to obtain a child care space. |
Enhanced Safety Plans
Please ensure that you read the BBE Safety Plan for your child’s Centre location. The plans include information about the child care facilities and equipment, communication and emergency procedures, prevention and safety measures, and staff training on handling emergency situations. This helps staff and the Board of Directors to react quickly and appropriately in emergencies. The plans are available on the Centre’s website or through the office. |
Inoculations
Immunization is one of the most effective ways of preventing many common childhood illness and infections. BBE encourages you to make sure your child’s immunizations are up-to-date.
