Safety
Safety is our top priority at Honey Bears Childcare. Schools and daycare facilities are built with the specific goal of furthering the development of the next generation, and the safety of those who spend their days in these facilities should never be a concern. By taking steps to ensure that the children in our care can learn in a calm, secure environment, we provide them with the safety they need to grow and develop.
Our Safety Measures
Honey Bears uses forms from the state of South Carolina to fully vet each person who sets foot into our facility. This is done to ensure the safety of not only the children in our care but our staff as well.
Our playgrounds consist mostly of natural grass, as opposed to surfaces comprised of wood chips or asphalt. We separate the children by age group, and in fact, we set aside five separate play areas for the five different age groups. Each play area is specifically designed for a different age group: one for infants and one-year-olds, one for two-year-olds, and three additional play areas for three, four, and five-year-olds to alternate between.
Additionally, all gates and external doors lock automatically when they close, and all of our facilities are located in a securely fenced-in area. Each family receives a personalized entry code to be able to access our facilities. We strongly discourage anyone from sharing their code with anybody else for any reason.
Our Well-Trained Staff Ensures Your Children’s Safety
By nature, young children are curious, easily intrigued by unfamiliar things, and sometimes a bit rowdy. While all of this can lead to fun experiences for children in childcare facilities, it can also lead to accidents and injuries if the children are not monitored and supervised closely.
Our staff consists of four childcare experts who have over five decades of combined experience in working with small children. This experience has taught us the most common types of accidents that can occur in a childcare facility, such as an object falling off a shelf and onto a child’s head, children tripping over each other, and choking on food (or other objects that shouldn’t be in their mouths!). Because most children under the age of six cannot necessarily understand various risks and hazards, our staff is always vigilantly watching each child to prevent these types of accidents from occurring.
Germs can spread rather easily between young children without fully developed immune systems. Our facilities are always well-cleaned and sanitized to minimize the risk of airborne illnesses spreading among children. We always encourage parents to keep their little ones home if they are showing symptoms of any illness, including chills, headache, extreme fatigue, congestion, upset stomach, a runny or stuffy nose, or intense coughing or sneezing.
