Child care -- Emergency plan
As a parent, you have probably asked most of the right questions when it comes to your child care provider. But have you planned ahead and asked what will happen in case of a weather-related or disaster-related emergency? The National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) suggests asking your child care provider these important questions ahead of time:
-- Does the child care provider have an emergency plan?
-- How will the child care provider safely evacuate my child? Is there a pre-determined location?
-- How will I be notified by the child care provider if a disaster occurs?
-- If I cannot get to my child during the disaster, what will happen?
