**Our SPARK Value of the Month: SAFE**

Safety begins before our SPARKS ever enter the building. This month, we proudly recognize the dedicated staff members who help every child arrive safely and start the day feeling protected, welcomed, and cared for.

From managing traffic and guiding vehicles, to greeting SPARKS as they step off buses, daycare vans, and cars, each person plays an essential role in creating a safe and seamless arrival. We also celebrate our front office team, whose careful attention ensures that established procedures and safety protocols are followed each day.

Thank you for remaining alert, working together, and treating every SPARK as if they were your own. Your commitment reminds us that being **SAFE** is more than following procedures—it is creating an environment where every child knows they are in caring and capable hands.



**Nuestro Valor SPARK del Mes: SEGURO**

La seguridad comienza antes de que nuestros SPARKS lleguen al edificio. Este mes, reconocemos con orgullo a los miembros del personal dedicados que ayudan a que cada niño llegue seguro y comience el día sintiéndose protegido, bienvenido y cuidado.

Desde manejar el tráfico y guiar los vehículos, hasta saludar a los SPARKS cuando bajan de los autobuses, vanes de la guardería y autos, cada persona desempeña un papel esencial en crear una llegada segura y sin contratiempos. También celebramos a nuestro equipo de oficina, cuya atención cuidadosa garantiza que los procedimientos establecidos y los protocolos de seguridad se sigan cada día.

Gracias por mantenerse alerta, trabajar juntos y tratar a cada SPARK como si fuera propio. Su compromiso nos recuerda que estar **SEGUROS** es más que seguir procedimientos: es crear un ambiente donde cada niño sabe que está en manos cuidadosas y capacitadas.
