Provider Response: (Contact the State Licensing Office for more information.) CORA Early Years La Salle utilizes the Blackboard Connect mass connection app/program which texts, calls, and emails families and emergency contacts of all children in our care in the event of an emergency. The app/website can be reached from any smart phone/internet capable device. All families are added into the blackboard system at time of enrollment. This increases the response time to an emergency, and allows us to contact all families regarding a safe location/ meeting point depending on where the "threat" or "fire is located. Moving forward, CORA EY will keep a copy of the Blackboard Connect information/summary on the service/program to demonstrate how we are able to quickly and effectively notify all of our families in an event of an emergency or an evacuation. In addition, management and both classrooms have all emergency contacts for ALL children enrolled at the center. |
