Peace of Mind for Parents

At Inspire Kids Montessori, your child’s safety and security is of the utmost importance. For this reason, we have implemented the following enhanced security measures at all of IKM’s campuses: 

Secure Sign In and Out Procedures 

While many childcare centers still utilize paper tracking for student check-in and check-out, Inspire Kids uses a state-of-the-art electronic student sign in and out systems using a QR code that parents scan right on their personal cell phones. Each family will have a specific code to identify the family and the children for those who are not parents but are on the child’s safety information card. All approved person’s picking up a student from school are also ID’d before a student is released to the approved adult. This is to ensure that no one else can sign your child in or out. Updates throughout the day are provided, along with photos, through our school parent app.  

School Security Measures 

School doors remain locked at all times throughout the day. All guests visiting the school campus, are allowed entry by a staff member.  Guests to the school are asked to sign in at the front desk and are then escorted by a staff member to the area of the school that they needed to access. All gates providing access to the playgrounds on campus are also locked at all times. All classrooms are equipped with their own egress from the school for swift and safe evacuation from the building if there were ever a need. 

School Staffing Safeguards 

All staff who are directly employed at Inspire Kids Montessori, or contracted with the school, are required to have a valid fingerprint card with the state of Arizona. Background checks on staff and contractors are required to be performed on an annual basis. On top of what the State of Arizona requires for background checks, Inspire Kids Montessori requires 3 additional background searches for our employees and contractors.  Staff are required to have their food handler’s certification and an updated TB test.  

CPR and First Aid Training 

Inspire kids Montessori requires all teachers to have their updated training in CPR and First Aid. The staff receives ongoing training and certification in CPR & First Aid every two years. This ensures calm and efficient responsiveness to address common childhood illness and injury. Incident reports are written, filed at the school, as well as a copy of the report is sent home with the parents, documenting any incident or injury that occurred while their student was at school.  

 

Safety and Security Monitoring 

Both campuses of Inspire Kids Montessori are monitored 24/7 by JK Fire Alarm and Cox Security, both trusted names in safety and security in our community.
