The situation is immediately assessed. If it is of a minor nature, the child is given the necessary care and the parent is notified.
If, however, the situation requires professional medical assistance, the police department in called, a patrol car is sent to the Center to pick up the child, the Director or the teacher and the child’s medical records are brought to the Community Hospital at the Dobbs Ferry which is only about three minutes away.
In the meantime, our office manager will notify the parents so that he or she can meet the child at the hospital.
