Safety Guidelines
Last updated: December 2024
At Magic Kids Entertainment, the safety and well-being of children is our absolute top priority. These Safety Guidelines outline our comprehensive safety protocols, child protection measures, and emergency procedures. We are committed to creating a safe, secure, and enjoyable environment for all children participating in our events.
1. Child Protection and Safety Standards
We maintain the highest standards of child protection and safety in all our activities. Our team undergoes regular training in child safety, first aid, and emergency response procedures. We follow strict protocols to ensure that every child in our care is protected and safe throughout our events.
All our entertainers are thoroughly vetted and undergo background checks before joining our team. We maintain detailed records of all staff members and regularly update our safety training programs to reflect current best practices in child entertainment and protection.
We implement a comprehensive child protection policy that includes proper supervision ratios, safe activity guidelines, and clear protocols for handling any safety concerns or incidents. Our goal is to create an environment where children can have fun while being completely safe and protected.
2. Supervision and Staffing Requirements
We maintain appropriate supervision ratios to ensure that all children receive adequate attention and care during our events. Our staffing requirements are designed to provide optimal safety while maintaining the quality of our entertainment services.
- Age-Appropriate Supervision: We provide different levels of supervision based on the age groups of children present. For children under 5 years, we maintain a ratio of one entertainer per 8 children. For children 5-12 years, the ratio is one entertainer per 12 children.
- Qualified Staff: All our entertainers are trained in child development, safety protocols, and emergency response procedures. They are certified in first aid and CPR, with regular recertification requirements.
- Background Checks: Every member of our team undergoes comprehensive background checks, including criminal record verification and reference checks, before being allowed to work with children.
- Ongoing Training: Our staff participates in regular safety training sessions, including child protection awareness, emergency response drills, and updated safety protocol reviews.
3. Activity Safety Guidelines
Face Painting Safety
We use only hypoallergenic, non-toxic face paints that are specifically designed for children. All materials are FDA-approved and safe for sensitive skin. We always test for allergies before applying paint and provide alternative options for children with skin sensitivities.
Magic Show Safety
All magic tricks and props are carefully selected to be completely safe for children. We avoid any tricks involving fire, sharp objects, or potentially dangerous materials. All props are regularly inspected and maintained to ensure they meet safety standards.
Balloon Art Safety
We use high-quality, non-toxic balloons that are safe for children. Our balloon artists are trained to create designs that are age-appropriate and pose no choking hazards. We always supervise children when they handle balloons and provide proper disposal instructions.
Game Safety
All games and activities are designed with safety in mind. We avoid games that could cause injury or involve rough physical contact. Our games promote cooperation, creativity, and fun while maintaining strict safety standards.
Music and Sound Safety
We maintain appropriate volume levels for all music and sound effects to protect children's hearing. Our equipment is regularly tested and maintained to ensure safe operation. We avoid sudden loud noises that could startle or frighten children.
Food and Allergy Safety
If our activities involve food items, we always check for allergies and dietary restrictions in advance. We use only pre-packaged, allergen-free treats and always have alternative options available for children with special dietary needs.
4. Venue and Environment Safety
We conduct thorough safety assessments of all venues before providing our services. Our safety checklist includes checking for potential hazards, ensuring proper emergency exits, and verifying that the environment is suitable for children's activities.
- Venue Inspection: We inspect all venues for potential safety hazards, including sharp edges, electrical outlets, and unstable furniture. We ensure that the space is clean, well-lit, and free from dangerous objects.
- Emergency Access: We verify that emergency exits are clearly marked and easily accessible. We ensure that our entertainers know the location of all exits and emergency equipment.
- Weather Considerations: For outdoor events, we monitor weather conditions and have contingency plans for adverse weather. We will reschedule or modify activities if weather conditions pose safety risks.
- Equipment Safety: All our equipment is regularly inspected and maintained. We use only child-safe materials and ensure that all props and tools are in good condition before use.
5. Emergency Procedures and Response
We have comprehensive emergency procedures in place to handle any situation that may arise during our events. All our staff are trained in emergency response and know exactly what to do in case of an accident, injury, or other emergency situation.

6. Health and Hygiene Protocols
We maintain strict health and hygiene protocols to protect the well-being of all children and staff. Our protocols are designed to prevent the spread of illness and ensure a clean, healthy environment for all participants.
- Hand Hygiene: All staff members wash their hands thoroughly before and after activities, especially when handling food or coming into contact with children. We encourage children to practice good hand hygiene as well.
- Equipment Sanitization: All equipment, props, and materials are regularly cleaned and sanitized. We use child-safe cleaning products and ensure all items are properly dried before use.

- Allergy Awareness: We maintain detailed records of any allergies or medical conditions and ensure that all staff are aware of these requirements before the event begins.
7. Age-Appropriate Safety Measures
We tailor our safety measures to the specific age groups of children present at each event. Different age groups have different safety needs, and we adjust our protocols accordingly to ensure maximum protection for all children.
- Toddlers (1-3 years): For this age group, we provide constant supervision and use only large, soft props that cannot be swallowed. All activities are designed to be safe for children who are still developing their motor skills.
- Preschoolers (3-5 years): We focus on activities that promote coordination and social skills while maintaining strict safety standards. We avoid small objects and ensure all activities are age-appropriate.
- School-age children (6-12 years): We provide more complex activities while still maintaining safety standards. We teach children about safety rules and encourage them to follow guidelines for their own protection.
- Mixed age groups: When we have children of different ages at the same event, we design activities that are safe for the youngest child while still being engaging for older children.
8. Communication and Reporting
We maintain open lines of communication with parents and event organizers to ensure that everyone is informed about safety protocols and any concerns that may arise. We believe that transparency is essential for maintaining trust and ensuring the safety of all children.
- Pre-event Communication: Before each event, we discuss safety requirements with parents and organizers. We gather information about any special needs, allergies, or medical conditions that we need to be aware of.
- During Event Updates: If any safety concerns arise during an event, we immediately communicate with parents and organizers. We provide regular updates about how the event is progressing.
- Post-event Reporting: After each event, we provide a summary of the activities and any safety-related incidents that occurred. This helps us maintain transparency and improve our services.
- Feedback Channels: We encourage parents and organizers to provide feedback about our safety protocols and suggest improvements. We take all feedback seriously and use it to enhance our safety measures.
9. Insurance and Liability Coverage
Magic Kids Entertainment maintains comprehensive insurance coverage to protect our clients and our business. Our insurance policies cover various aspects of our operations and provide peace of mind for all parties involved.
- General Liability Insurance: We carry general liability insurance that covers accidents and injuries that may occur during our events. This insurance protects both our company and our clients.
