How does having buses impact the way All 4 Kids functions?
Being a child care center, the buses at All 4 Kids are specifically for transporting children. Having buses offers flexibility for parents who cannot drive to and from the center. Offering this service is essential for children to keep their routine and stay in school. Additionally, the large capacity of these child care buses are ideal for taking groups of students on field trips.
According to All 4 Kids, what are the best features of a TESCO child care bus?
For All 4 Kids, seat belts are an important feature in a child care bus from TESCO. Children move around a lot during transit and having seat belts helps keep them safe and stable.
Safety latches and back up cameras are crucial features as well. Backup cameras are especially helpful when watching for kids or traffic. Having mirrors on all sides helps drivers transport correctly and safely. When children are around, it is of the utmost importance to be able to see all around you while driving.
Between backup cameras and mirrors, All 4 Kids' drivers have peace of mind knowing if the pathway is clear or not. A bus is a large vehicle and drives differently from a standard car or SUV. The extra space in a vehicle makes for a comfortable ride for passengers. Kids have room to sit by a window, and the aisleway is free from rider traffic.
How does All 4 Kids approach fleet maintenance, replacement decisions, or upgrades?
Essentially, maintenance, replacements, and upgrades depend on whether there is room in the budget. It also depends on the services All 4 Kids provides, like taking children to and from the center, and class field trips. Despite it all, purchasing a bus has helped All 4 Kids expand and bring more services to its community in Holland and Spencer Township, Ohio.
How are drivers and staff trained to meet the unique needs of young riders? How does All 4 Kids' partnership with TESCO help meet those challenges?
As a child care center, it is necessary to have an annual inspection of each vehicle. The Ohio Department of Children and Youth requires regular training for drivers of child care buses. Because of this, All 4 Kids' drivers are well-educated in rules and safety, and children are in capable hands. The facility needs to comply with and maintain its high standards of excellence.
For maintenance, it's convenient to be able to take the bus back to TESCO's facility. Especially with needing yearly inspections, it is handy to have a team in the Toledo area. Not only does TESCO know the ins and outs of the vehicle, but it also makes sure buses are acceptable for the driver and riders.
