Trained for the worst day
Every caregiver and our director hold current pediatric CPR and pediatric First Aid certification — rescue breathing, choking response, hands-on manikin testing, the real thing, not a printout. Someone certified in pediatric CPR is on the premises any time children are in care.
Staff orientation covers abuse recognition and reporting, emergency procedures, allergy and anaphylaxis response, medication administration, and premises safety before a new teacher takes responsibility for a group.
Who can take your child home
Your child is released only to you or to a person you named in writing at enrollment. If we don't recognize the person at pickup, we follow a written identity-verification plan — photo ID recorded and kept in your child's file. Every employee is trained on it.
Arrival and departure are logged for every child, every day. Our emergency plan includes lock-down procedure for a volatile person on the premises, and we practice that drill — we don't just file it.
Health & immunizations
Texas requires every child from birth through age 14 to meet the Department of State Health Services immunization schedule, with complete records on file by the date of admission. We maintain current records, including valid medical and conscience/religious exemptions on the official notarized DSHS affidavit.

Cameras on site
We have cameras recording continuously, and footage is kept for around two weeks. Texas does not require this of child care centers — we do it as our own layer of oversight, so that if a question ever comes up about a particular moment, there is a record of it rather than two different memories.
Live viewing for parents isn't available yet. We'd like to offer it and we're working toward it — we'll tell families as soon as it's ready rather than promise a date we can't keep.
Texas gives a parent the right to view footage of an alleged incident involving their own child, subject to protecting the privacy of other children. If you ever need that, speak to Radiat directly.
