What We Do

---

Secure for Safety: we provide volunteers, supplies and resources to help secure your childcare program for earthquakes. 

Campaign Early Prepare: We provide earthquake safety training to childcare programs (at your childcare location) through story, song, and earthquake drill practice. 

Our National Childcare Disaster Readiness Certification program incorporates state childcare disaster preparedness requirements, the recommendations of the 2010 National Commission on Children and Disaster, and the requirements of the Childcare Development and Block Grant Act of 2014. We will work with you to help you be better prepared.

We provide disaster preparedness workshops for children and parents and teach children what to do "just in case." Children have fun designing their own individually stenciled 'ready bag' pillow case to take home and learn a little bit about what to do to be better prepared. 

We provide emergency preparedness training to childcare providers, nannies, or babysitters that want to be prepared. Our Scare-D Cat or Prepare-D Cat train helps "operationalize" emergency operations plans and teach providers how to be ready. We have training and resource information to help better prepare your childcare program.

We help bridge the gap between emergency management and childcare by providing resources that integration options that merge both 'cultures.' Some of the items we provide include:

• EOPS
• Fact Sheets
• Resources and Materials

We speak directly to emergency managers and business continuity providers about the importance of planning for childcare preparation and recovery in their own plans. We also attend various community preparedness and awareness events to help advocate for childcare readiness and let parents know how they can work with childcare to better prepare them.
