Chaveirim of Central Jersey and Hatzolah of Central Jersey have partnered to launch a new Child Safety Initiative designed to help prevent tragic incidents involving children who are unintentionally left behind.

The initiative introduces a free life-saving hotline for daycares and morahs. Approximately 15 minutes after the scheduled start of the day, an automated reminder call is placed to confirm that all children have safely arrived and are accounted for, adding an important layer of protection for young children.

For schools and caregivers who prefer a digital solution, a tablet-based reminder program sponsored by DropGuard is also available to electronically verify attendance.

The program will soon expand to include automated text message and WhatsApp alerts, allowing parents to receive confirmation that their child was safely dropped off.

Organizers say the initiative is a simple but potentially life-saving safeguard that helps ensure every child arrives safely, every day, while providing added peace of mind for parents and caregivers.

Enrollment is free by calling 732-329-7732. For sponsorship opportunities, call 908-308-2181.
