• Ages: 5–12 years old
Champions states that the safety, security, and health of each child is a top priority, and that it is a safe, healthy place for children to thrive. Teachers and staff undergo extensive training on health and safety practices, including pandemic-response protocols, and are trained in first aid and CPR. Teachers and staff members are trained in child development, early childhood education, or a related field, and criminal background checks are conducted on staff. The program emphasizes health, safety, and security, including pandemic-response protocols, and only authorized staff and families may enter sites. Most sites offer breakfast, lunch, and snacks, with menus that satisfy applicable federal and state nutrition guidelines, and sites may restrict which food items are served and brought in to accommodate food allergies. Champions uses strict procedures for pick-up and drop-off, including sign-in and sign-out and photo identification requirements, and written authorization must be on file before a child is released to anyone. Each site has emergency evacuation plans that are tested frequently, with an emergency plan and list of procedures posted in each classroom, and a National Support Center crisis team supports each center during and after emergencies. Champions follows local health department guidelines and the guidance of the schools they operate in to take care of students, families, and communities. Families are asked to refrain from posting photos or videos that contain images of children other than their own on the Internet. To authorize staff to give prescription or non-prescription medications or apply topical non-prescription medications, a form from the site must be completed, and a doctor's note is required for any medication, whether prescription or over-the-counter, for any child under the age of 2. An Ethics Support Line, hosted by a third-party hotline provider called EthicsPoint, is available for the program.
