Safety First

Tornado/Storm Shelter:

Our central hallway is a 560 cubic foot tornado/storm shelter constructed of eight-inch, reinforced concrete walls and reinforced, eight-inch concrete ceiling.

Reward walls:

Our exterior walls are constructed of eight-inch, reinforced concrete poured between foam forms and are rated for winds up to 200 mph.  They also provide the additional benefit of excellent insulation, reducing the center’s energy use.

Security:

Sixteen security cameras monitor the classrooms and playground and are viewable by parents in the main lobby. Our front door is securely restricted and requires a parent’s code to enter. We also have a state of the art Firespy Fire Alarm System with over 40 smoke detectors, heat sensors, strobes, and horns.

Privacy Fencing:

A five-foot high privacy fencing secures our playground.

CPR/First Aid:

Our teachers and staff are trained annually in adult and child CPR/First Aid and trained in the use of our automated external defibrillator (AED).
