Dear Parents / Guardians

This letter is to assure you of our concern for safety and welfare of children attending Little Magic Moments Academy Our Emergency Plan provides for response to all types of emergencies. Depending on the circumstances of the emergency, we will use one of the following protective actions:

• Shelter in place - Sudden occurences, weather or hazardous materials related, may dictate that taking cover inside the building is the best immediate response.
• Evacuation - Total evacuation of the facility may become necessary if there is a danger in the area. In this case, children will be relocated to Pleasant Playground 6800 Chew Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19119 (215) 685-2230.
• Modified Operation - May include cancellation / postponement or rescheduling of normal activities. These actions are normally taken in case of a winter storm or building problems(such as utility disruptions) that make it unsafe for children

Please listen to KYW News Radio 1060 for announcements relating to any of the emergency actions listed above.
We ask that you not call during the emergency. This will keep the main telephone line free to make emergency calls and relay information.
The facility director may provide an alternate phone number(i.e cell phone number,etc.) to call in an emergency event.

The emergency contact form that you sign when enrolling your child in care provides space for you to give consent and designate specific persons to pick you up your child. This form will be used every time your child is released including during times of emergency shelter and evacuation. Please ensure that only those persons you listed on the including during times of emergency shelter and evacuatio. Please update the emergency contact form as often as information changes including those persons designated to pick your child or at least every six months.

I specifically urge you not to attempt to make different arrangements during an emergency. This will only create additional confusion and divert staff from their assigned emergency duties.

In order to assure the safety of your children and our staff, I ask your understanding and cooperation. Should you have additional questions regarding our emergency operating procedures contact me at 215-842-1101 or send messages through Brightwheel.

Sincerely,

Facility Director
