Recent studies show that 58% of working parents—over 6 million American adults—rely on child care centers to care for their children during the workday. Daycares have many responsibilities caring for the many infants, toddlers, and preschoolers entrusted to them. One of the biggest is protecting them from daycare accidents.
Falls on playground equipment are most common, and most likely to send a child under five to the emergency room. Having a plan to safeguard children from falls and other injury risks is critical for your daycare. Make sure safety’s no accident with these top tips.
Children are rapidly developing physically, mentally, and emotionally but most accident risks are outside their understanding or recognition. Your facility needs to monitor both their curiosity and lack of awareness. It should provide similar childproofing to what parents do at home, along with additional safeguards taking into account the well-being of all children across various ages and abilities.
First, your daycare should have a written plan for handling illness and injuries. This plan should include information such as:
This written plan should be distributed to staff and be easily accessible. Parents should also have a clear understanding of the daycare’s policies.
Next, your daycare should keep a careful eye on the main causes of children’s accidents and injuries, including:
The playground:
Toys:
Stairs:
Cleaning supplies:
Childproofing:
Bookshelves:
Stove:
Sharp objects:
Weather:
Water:
Although this list may seem extensive, when it’s followed closely, you’re not only reducing accident risk, but you’re also addressing what can help prevent fatal accidents in infants and toddlers, which is a win-win for everyone.
