Schools and daycares play a vital role in children’s daily lives. Families entrust these environments with their children’s safety, development, and well-being—often for many hours each day.

 

PPE Kids partners with schools and early childhood programs to help build safe, transparent, and accountable environments where children can learn and grow without fear.

 

Why Child Protection in Schools & Daycares Matters

Child sexual abuse most often occurs in trusted settings, not through strangers. Schools and daycares manage unique risk factors, including:

• Frequent adult-child interaction

• One-on-one or small-group settings

• High staff and volunteer turnover

• Mixed-age environments

• Reliance on trust, routine, and structure

Strong child protection practices help schools and daycares protect children and support staff by providing clear expectations, boundaries, and systems.

 

How We Support Schools & Daycares

PPE Kids offers practical, prevention-focused resources designed to fit real educational and childcare settings—not theoretical models or one-size-fits-all solutions.

 

Our support includes:

• Training & Education
  Trauma-informed training for administrators, teachers, and staff on recognizing grooming behaviors, boundary violations, peer-to-peer harm, and appropriate responses.

• Policies & Protective Systems
  Guidance in developing and strengthening child protection policies that clarify supervision, reporting, communication, and accountability—so staff are never left guessing.

• Screening & Background Check Guidance
  Support in understanding screening best practices and integrating them into a broader culture of safety and transparency.

• Parent Communication Support
  Resources that help schools and daycares communicate clearly with families about safety expectations, boundaries, and reporting pathways.

 

Our Approach

We work with schools and daycares—not against them.

 

Our approach is:

• Prevention-first, not incident-driven

• Supportive of educators and caregivers

• Clear about responsibility and boundaries

• Focused on systems, not assumptions

We believe strong child protection practices reduce confusion, increase confidence, and create safer environments for everyone involved.

 

Accessible Protection for Every Program

Child safety should not depend on budget size. PPE Kids operates on a Pay-What-You-Can model, allowing schools and daycares of all sizes—public, private, faith-based, or nonprofit—to access prevention resources.

 

A Shared Responsibility

Protecting children is a shared responsibility between families, educators, and communities. PPE Kids exists to support schools and daycares as trusted partners in that work—helping you strengthen safety, build trust with families, and foster environments where children are protected and heard.
