They will stay abreast of any and all situations regarding the children. They are here to support the children and families alike!
If there are any serious situations that occur (involving emotional or physical harm/injury to the host child, or harm caused to others by the host child), you will be required to submit an incident report within 24 hours. All incidents will be investigated and handled by MAA’s trained staff.
If you are experiencing any issues, as small as they seem, please call us and let us help. Often sitting down and discussing a small issue can prevent a larger issue from occurring in the future. We are here to help – just let us know!
