About Us

Our Academy has taken all necessary steps to instill confidence with our parents and caretakers that your children are safe while at our center. To achieve this goal, we have:

• Cameras located in each classroom, allowing parents to observe your child during the day.
• Keyless entry into the building. Each family has their unique ID for access into the building.
• Detailed evacuation plans and equipment for emergency situations.
• A Crisis Management Plan.
• Two way radios for easy communication throughout the building.
• Our outside play area is fenced in and situated away from the road for your child’s safety.
• Pest control services will be utilized. All applications will use green products that are made to be safe with children and pets. Before any pesticide is applied parents will be notified at least 48 hours in writing through a posting on the lobby door. All applications will be completed on the weekends when children are not present.

Camera System (KidsVision)

The Fox Den Academy employs the use of internet cameras in every classroom. This innovative system allows parents to check in on their child’s day as often as they would like via the internet. Access to view the classrooms is completely safe and secure. Please see KidsVision brochure for more information on this beneficial service.

Safety and Outdoors

The Fox Den Academy has a Safety and Outdoor Policy to ensure that your child is under proper supervision at all times. All employees are introduced to and trained on this policy when they are hired at our center. They are expected to follow all policies, procedures, and rules in this area throughout their employment with our center.

To help them do so, it is important that our parents follow a number of guidelines as well.

• Please use your key fob or door code to access the learning area.
• Please walk your child to their classroom.
• Please do not leave them in the hallway to find their own way or leave them in a room where no teacher is present.
• When picking up your child, please come into the building. I know it may seem convenient to send an older child into the center while you wait outside, but for your child’s safety an adult must pick up.
• If children are on the playground you cannot enter and exit the property through the playground gates. They will be locked during school hours. All entry and exits must be through the main entrance.

Our first priority at The Fox Den Academy is to ensure all of our children’s safety. Thank you for your help in this matter.

Sun Safety Policy

Children will spend time outside daily (weather permitting). We have a strict sun safety policy. All children will be limited to 30 minutes per session of playground/outside activity time after the temperature exceeds 90 degrees. Unlimited water will be available at all times. Play areas are shaded; however, it is the parent’s responsibility to apply sunscreen prior to attendance. Our staff will reapply sunscreen to children before going outdoors in the afternoon. If any child exhibits signs of heat exhaustion, they will be removed from the outdoor environment, treated accordingly and the parents will be notified if necessary.

Alternate Pick-Up

If you require someone that is not listed in your enrollment agreement, to pick up your child, you must complete and sign an Alternate Pick up Form. If necessary, we can email the form to you. The person picking up your child will need to show us their driver’s license before we will release your child. Your child will not be released to someone if the appropriate paperwork has not been completed.
