In the event of an emergency, we will need to evacuate the children’s space.

• Our welcome desk team will head to the Nursery and to the 2 & 3 year old classroom to help with our smallest children.
• GK Coordinators will take their clipboard with the printed roster for all classrooms. This will be the roster used to ensure that all kids have exited the building and are with their GK Leaders.
• Classroom leaders will take the clipboard with the red and green card on it, along with the emergency evacuation map and instructions for exiting the building. They will line children up and exit the building with the class. There should be an adult at the front of the line and at the back of the line.
• Leaders will exit the building. They will escort the children to the designated muster point and the far end of the upper parking lot. All GENESIS Kids classes will meet at the black dumpster.
• Place the red side of your card on your clipboard. This will indicate to the leadership team that your classroom needs to be verified based on the printed roster.
• Once a leader has taken attendance for your class, flip the card to the green side of the clipboard.
• Once all children have been accounted for, leaders may begin dismissing children to parents. Please wait for this directive from the GK Directors. Ensure that the child’s sticker matches the parent sticker.
• Keep track of the children who are dismissed by taking their sticker and adding it to the clipboard.
• Remain as calm as possible. Reassure the children and maintain their emotional well being.
• Parents are not allowed to pick up their children at any time during the evacuation. Once all children are accounted for, and the GK Directors have approved, children may be dismissed to their parents/guardians.
