Benefits of Being Prepared

Ultimately this training might help you save lives—the lives of the children in your care as well as your staff and yourself. While nobody wants to be in that position, we all know things happen and as professionals we prepare for the unexpected. It’s the same reason you keep your CPR certification current. Let’s look at some other ways this training benefits you: By knowing what to look for, you can prevent dangerous situations from happening. Taking steps now can minimize injury if something does happen. You can reduce potential damage to your property from an emergency. Having confidence that you know what to do will reduce fear and the emotional impact of an incident. Your staff, the children in your care and their parents trust your leadership. Confident leaders inspire confidence in others. Being calm and acting deliberately during a crisis is often the deciding factor between a good outcome or a bad one. You’ll be able to recover more quickly and resume services as soon as it’s safe to do so. Having plans and taking steps to prepare can lower your liability exposure and help protect your business and you professionally.
