Emergency Practice Planner for Childcare Programs

Use this printable planner to organize one short emergency practice, from selecting a scenario such as evacuation, shelter-in-place, lockdown, or severe weather to recording follow-up actions. The form helps educators prepare supplies and attendance information, give children a calm, age-appropriate explanation, and observe whether everyone stayed together and was accounted for. A quick scenario card prompts staff to decide where the group should go, what to bring, and how to account for each child. Reach for it when planning, documenting, or reviewing an emergency drill with your classroom team.
