Child Safety

At Futuro, children are at the centre of everything we do. We know children learn best when they feel safe, secure, and cared for. That’s why your child’s safety and wellbeing are woven into every part of our program, our people, and our places.

We’ve invested significant time and resources into building safety systems that give families peace of mind, so you can be confident your child is safe, happy, and thriving every day.

Our Educators are carefully chosen and trained to the highest standards:

  • Risk-averse approach to any concerns during hiring
  • Extensive onboarding in child protection, behaviour management, and safety protocols
