Safety at Lando

Every parent's first question.And ours.

Lando classes happen on your kid's campus, run by background-checked teachers, with a text the moment your kid checks in and the moment they check out.

01The teachers

Our bar is absurdly high.

You're trusting us with your kid for two hours a week. That trust starts with who we hire, and what we make them prove before they join our team.

03The campus advantage

Safer because we're on campus

Lando classes happen at your school, with your school's security and your school's supervision. Same gates, same yard, same staff your kid sees every day.

0
Cars, vans, or shuttles.
Your kid doesn't change buildings, doesn't get in a vehicle, and doesn't cross a street to get to Lando. They just stay where they already are.
Open
Open-door policy.
Every Lando classroom is run with the door open, so school staff can see inside at any time. No closed rooms, no blind spots, no surprises.
04When something happens

Plans for the things we hope never happen.

Bumps, illnesses, lockdowns — we've written it down, rehearsed it, and made it visible.

Emergencies & injuries

Every teacher is CPR & pediatric first-aid certified. Every classroom has a stocked kit and an emergency action card.

  • You are called within 5 minutes of any incident requiring first aid.
  • Every Lando teacher is a mandated reporter (CA AB 1207).
  • 911 first, parent second, school admin third — every time.

Photos, video & data

Class reports are visible only to you. We never share images of your kid externally without asking you first.

  • We'll never sell your data.
  • No social posts or marketing use without your consent.
  • SOC 2 Type II — accessed annually.
  • FERPA-aligned data handling. Records purged on request.

Insurance & oversight

$2M general liability per class, $5M umbrella, $1M abuse & molestation coverage. Your school is named as additional insured.

  • Certificate of insurance shared with every partner school.
  • Background & training records auditable by school admins on request.
  • Independent safety advisory board reviews incidents quarterly.
