Safari Childcare passes routine inspections by several regulatory agencies.
The Department of Public Health literally gives us a “clean” bill of health. They confirm our staff handles and stores food in a sanitary manner, ensure sanitary procedures are followed in tasks such as diapering, and make sure all children have been properly vaccinated.
The Cook County Fire Marshall ensures each classroom has an accessible fire exit route, that smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and fire alarms are fully functionally and ideally located.
The Department of Child and Family Services (DCFS) is the licensing body for childcare centers in Illinois. In granting each school’s license, DCFS has deemed:
Our staff is experienced, educated and has passed a thorough background check.
Our classrooms and playgrounds are equipped with a plentitude of safe, age-appropriate materials and equipment.
Our lesson plans are well prepared and developmentally appropriate.
Our group sizes and ratios of adults to children are appropriate for a safe and happy classroom.
Our policies and procedures ensure the safety and welfare of the children in our care.
We applaud the efforts of the regulatory agencies and realize you as a parent probably find some comfort in their efforts. The truth is, however, we are “where the rubber meets the road.” We are who you can depend on each day to love and care for your child. You should know more than anything else that this is our passion and our love, and that you can count on us at all times.
Our Nurse and Quality Control Director also conduct unannounced inspections of all our schools. These internal officers verify that all regulations as well as Safari Childcare quality standards are consistently met, even between visits between each regulatory body.
Safari Childcare prides itself in total quality management and our commitment to quality extends to every facet of our organization. From staff to curriculum to overall care for your child, rest assured we strive to give 100% at all times.
