Childcare Center
Cell Phone Policy
As a childcare center director, it can be difficult to mitigate the use of personal cell phones during work hours and in the classroom. While you want educators to capture pictures for parents, you also want to ensure that cell phone usage doesn’t distract staff members from focusing on the children in their care (whether they’re company-issued phones or personal devices). Use this company cell phone policy template to develop a procedure for your staff to follow when making phone calls, sending text messages, or even updating center social media and using business apps!

Childcare Center Cell Phone Policy
As a childcare center director, managing your staff is a large part of your job. In some aspects, it may be easy and come naturally to you. However, there will always be challenges that come up as you deal with different personalities, being short-staffed, and dealing with changes in technology. Technology like smartphones can be a valuable asset to your center: there are many tools that exist that can make everyone’s jobs easier for work-related communications and save hours in admin time (Lillio is just one example!). On the other hand, excessive personal use of cell phones and smartwatches in the classroom can negatively impact staff focus and attentiveness (despite teh fact that devices are now part of everyday life), and it certainly doesn’t set a good example for the children! If team members don’t follow the correct guidelines for usage, it could result in termination of employment due to a security breach or other security issues.
In order to manage the use of cell phones by staff members in your center, you have to put together and implement a specific cell phone policy for everyone to follow. Whether you’re concerned with personal calls or business calls, your employee cell phone policy should cover everything you want to communicate around how staff can use mobile devices during business hours in the work environment and for work-related purposes. Especially when dealing with confidential information. There’s certainly appropriate use of phones, providing they don’t provide disruptions, but it’s essential that you have a work policy that reviews the use of mobile phones. Sometimes, a human resources department may share these policies in an employee handbook or during onboarding.
