Threats of violence can include unauthorized, threatening or armed intruders or police activity near your child care, which may require lockdown of your facility. Other threats include explosions, suspicious packages, and threatening phone calls. It is important to act quickly, in a way that doesn’t cause children and staff to panic.

Your child care program’s ability to quickly respond and recover from threats of violence or child endangerment depends on how prepared you are.
