Evacuation Procedures

Iqra Daycare and Preschool LLC has written policies and procedures for dealing with emergencies and natural disasters. Evacuation plans are posted in the daycare. In the unlikely event, the children will be evacuated to an emergency location, and you will be notified as soon as possible.

Smoking

The poisons in secondhand smoke are especially harmful to infants and young children's developing bodies; therefore, the indoor and outdoor program environment and vehicles used by our program are non-smoking areas at all times. The use of tobacco in any form is prohibited on our program's premises.

Prohibited Substances

Any adult who appears to be inebriated, intoxicated, or otherwise under the influence is required to leave the premises immediately.
