Keeping Kids Safe!
Ensuring the safety of children is a top priority here at Valley. Our goal is to provide a secure environment where children can learn and grow closer to God. To do this, we offer a secure check in & out system, background checked and safety trained caring adults, and safety guidelines & procedures that all staff and volunteers follow.
Background Checks: Each staff and volunteer working and interacting directly with children are thoroughly screened by passing a background check and engaging in an interview.
Child Protection Policies: We have established clear child protection policies and require all staff and volunteers to be trained in these policies.
Child Supervision: All children’s programs and special events are supervised by 2 or more staff or adult volunteers at all times.
Secure Check-In/Check-Out Procedures: We use a digital check-in and check-out system, which prints name tags for children, and check out stickers for parents, which are required to be presented upon pickup of their child.
Additional Security Measures: We have installed windows in classroom doors and cameras in each classroom. We also have a security team that helps to monitor and secure our premises during operating times.
