Emergency Preparedness.
Focus on Fire: Preparedness
September is National Preparedness Month. Citizens would benefit from learning how to be ready in case of natural or man-made disasters. Preparing in advance can lessen or eliminate deaths, injuries, and property damage. In most types of disasters the risk for fire is increased due to loose electrical wires, broken gas lines, flooding, or the lack of electricity. In addition, fires in residences are a personal disaster striking hundreds of thousands of homes each year. For these reasons, each of us should take the time to find out how to be prepared.
We here at Stacey's Incredible Kids, LLC take safety very seriously. Here are just a few of the many safety features in our home. Most of not required by the state of Connecticut for family daycares, I have noted which are required below (very few). I am first and foremost a parent and understand the importance of keeping my children safe. I have had many of these features in my home before I became licensed. If you have any other suggestions please feel free to let us know.
We also have posted the daycare's emergency evacuation procedures and map of the layout of the emergency exits on the ground floor (There are three emergency exits). If you would like a copy please let me know.
-We have the standard 5 lb fire extinguisher (required by the state of Connecticut) and we also have two others on the ground floor alone.
-Each floor (including the basement) has fire alarms (required by the state of Connecticut). The ground floor also has a carbon monoxide detector.
-The front door, basement doors and sliding doors are all equipped with an alert signal the alerts me if any of the doors open.
-The sliding door also has a safety bar so that the door cannot open unless it is lifted.
-The basement door has a sliding lock higher than the lock already on the door so little hands can't reach.
-On the second floor we have Guardian Angel Window Guards where the children sleep. They are the safest window guard on the market! Others are permanently mounted, which could spell disaster in a fire. This one withstands 150 lbs. of pressure, yet removes easily with emergency release buttons. I would highly recommend for those who have multi-floor homes.
-The second floor also has two fire extinguishers.-The second floor also has two story fire escape ladder which I also recommend.
-We have a emergency preparedness bin in our basement which contains 12 hour glow sticks, emergency blankets, dust masks, multi-tools, solar radio, batteries, manual can opener, water proof matches, rope, gloves, flash lights, water packettes, army food rations and more.
-We also have a fully stocked first aid kit, covers on all outlets and cabinet latches (required by the state of Connecticut).

A word of Potty Training....
Currently we have 3 out of 5 children potty training at the daycare. Children must show an interest in potty training and be able to announce when he has to go potty. Children who show interest may use pullups and those who can announce when they have to go can wear padded underwear. All children potty-training should be wearing user-friendly clothing.
When accidents occur, your child will be expected to help with correcting the situation, including cleaning up their mess, packing up their soiled clothing, and retrieving and changing into their spare clothes. This is necessary in order to reinforce that it is more pleasant to work on learning to go potty properly, rather than simply make a mess and let someone else clean it up.
Some children may do well at toilet training for several weeks, then decide that it’s too much trouble and they don’t want to be bothered with having to remember to go on their own. If your child experiences a lot of accidents (more than one or two per week) and/or your child begins to experience other difficulties with toileting, such as refusing to go, willfully making messes, refusing to be responsible for cleaning up their accidents, etc., then it may be necessary to return the child to pullups or diapers.
Please keep in mind that the burden of training your child to successfully go potty will need to reside with you. I simply do not have the time and resources to devote to training each child individually since I care for more than one child at a time. I will do my best to assist you in your training efforts, and will consult with you to be sure we coordinate our efforts in order to present consistent expectations at home and at daycare. But ultimately the responsibility to potty-train your child must rest with you.
Feel free to discuss your concerns with me regarding your plans to potty train your child. I will attempt to help you to the best of my ability.
