Ride along employees are required to have CPR/1st Aid and Transportation Training. I observed at inspection the caregivers relaying to the caregiver in the classroom how many children got off the bus and before the van driver left the room the caregiver counted and did a face to roll check. The van driver than did another sweep of van and parked the van in the designed spot.
Field Trips: They are only conducted during the summer only except for two field trips for the Pre-K in the fall to fair and pumpkin patch. In the summer each child is given a calendar of field trips for summer and then they post a note on the front door. The director is always present on the field trips and an additional 2 caregivers even if the ratio is met with one caregiver. The caregiver completes transition logs that are check throughout the field trip. They also conducted a van log when enter and exiting the vans. Pools: not on
