📆 Why Doesn’t Prestige Academy Allow Facility Tours During Operational Hours?
At Prestige Academy, the safety and well-being of our students and staff is our highest priority. For this reason, we do not permit facility tours or visits from prospective families during school hours. This policy is in place for the following important reasons:
1. Ensuring the Safety of Children and Staff
Limiting access to the facility during operational hours helps us maintain a secure and controlled environment. In today’s world, with increasing safety concerns in schools nationwide, we believe in taking every precaution to protect our children and staff.
2. Protecting the Identity and Privacy of Our Students
We take the privacy of our enrolled children very seriously. Restricting access to the school and limiting visibility into our classrooms helps prevent the sharing of student identities and protects our community from online exposure.
3. Minimizing Disruptions to the Learning Environment
Classroom routines are carefully structured to support learning, care, and development. Unscheduled visits can disrupt instruction and caregiving routines such as feeding, diaper changes, and rest time. We strive to maintain a calm and consistent environment for all students.
Prestige Academy is a licensed, Quality Rated facility. We operate with strict adherence to state and quality assurance guidelines, and our staff is fully trained to provide a secure, nurturing, and educational setting.
We understand that choosing a school is an important decision, and most families appreciate our commitment to maintaining a secure, private environment. Access to the building is granted only to staff and enrolled families via a secure key fob system, and entry is restricted to drop-off, pick-up, or authorized teaching staff.
Additionally, our school is equipped with a third-party, state-of-the-art security camera system designed specifically for schools and childcare centers. This system is accessible to our directors and enrolled families, offering peace of mind and transparency.
We are proud to offer a safe, loving, and professional environment—and we believe that safeguarding our school community begins with policies like this one.
ADDED POLICY ALERT: Photo IDs must now be emailed at least 24hrs before scheduled tour with a limit of (2) adults. Both adults must submit their IDs via email or the tour will be canceled.
