All First School teachers have received detailed instruction on the significance of advising parents on the accomplishments and or needs of their children. Through effective staff communication First School can actually transcend the boundaries of its facility by way parent facilitation of its programs in the home. The First School childcare philosophy focuses on the health and safety of the family unit rather than merely the child. First School advanced the concept of minor injury and unacceptable behavior daily journals. By documenting each minor scrape, bump or cut in a bound and written format parents are informed at the end of the day as to what type of minor injury occurred, when it occurred, where it occurred, and how it was treated by the First School staff.
Unacceptable behavior is handled in the same manner.
Each journal entry is intended to instill client confidence through communication. First School's customer focus does not stop at its front doors. For the past 13 years First School has sponsored pediatric CPR classes for its clientele. First School parents receive professional CPR training along with the First School staff. Parenting classes conducted by family psychologists and therapists have been held at both First School facilities.
