Their Safety Is Our Priority
At Coronado Prep Preschool, providing a safe, healthy, and secure environment is at the heart of everything we do.
We maintain policies and procedures designed to protect the health and well-being of our children, staff, and families while meeting applicable Nevada child care licensing and health requirements.
Trained & Prepared Teachers
Our teachers receive ongoing training to help them confidently care for young children and respond appropriately when situations arise.
Staff training includes areas such as:
- CPR and First Aid
- Recognizing signs and symptoms of illness
- Bloodborne pathogen safety
- Recognizing and reporting child abuse and neglect
- Emergency preparedness
- Age-appropriate child development
- Safe sleep and infant-specific safety training for applicable staff
In addition to required training, Coronado Prep invests in continuing education to support our teachers’ professional growth and maintain high standards of care.
A Healthy School Environment
Keeping our school healthy is a partnership between our teachers and families.
Our health and sanitation practices include:
- Routine cleaning and sanitizing of classrooms, toys, and frequently touched surfaces
- Regular handwashing throughout the day
- Procedures for managing illness and reducing the spread of infection
- Safe food handling practices
- Ongoing communication with families regarding health concerns
- Following applicable health guidance and child care regulations
When a child becomes ill while at school, families are notified according to our illness policies and procedures.
Playground & Outdoor Safety
Outdoor play is an important part of childhood, and we want children to have opportunities to run, climb, explore, and build their physical skills in a supervised environment.
Our outdoor safety practices include:
- Active teacher supervision during outdoor play
- Regular inspection and maintenance of playground areas and equipment
- Appropriate protective surfacing around play equipment
- Age-appropriate use of playground equipment
- Appropriate footwear during outdoor play
- Monitoring playground equipment and surfaces for potential hazards
- Adjusting or limiting outdoor activities when weather or environmental conditions create a safety concern
Las Vegas Heat & Sun Safety
Living in Southern Nevada means taking heat and sun exposure seriously.
During warmer months, our staff monitors weather conditions and adjusts outdoor activities when necessary. Teachers also monitor children closely for signs of overheating and encourage hydration throughout the day.
We take precautions such as:
- Checking outdoor conditions before outdoor play
- Monitoring playground surfaces and equipment that may become hot in direct sunlight
- Providing regular opportunities for water and hydration
- Limiting or modifying outdoor activities during excessive heat, poor air quality, high winds, or other unsafe conditions
- Encouraging families to apply sunscreen before arriving at school and following our procedures for reapplication when appropriate
Our goal is for children to enjoy the benefits of outdoor play while keeping their health and safety at the forefront.
Emergency Preparedness
Our team maintains procedures for emergencies and unexpected situations. Staff members are trained on emergency response protocols, and safety procedures are reviewed regularly.
We believe preparation, communication, attentive supervision, and well-trained teachers are essential parts of providing high-quality early childhood care.
Safe. Nurtured. Ready to Learn.
When children feel safe and cared for, they are free to do what children do best—play, explore, build relationships, and learn.
