KidZone of Myrtle Beach to Host Guard-A-Kid Child ID Event

Jan. 18, 2011 - PRLog -- KidZone Daycare of Myrtle Beach will host a Guard-A-Kid Child ID event Wednesday, February 9, 2011 at 9:00 am. The event provides parents the opportunity to secure a complete Child ID package to keep on hand in case of emergency. Julie Boggess, owner of KidZone, chose Guard-A-Kid for its comprehensive and affordable ID package and its proactive approach to keeping kids safe. Guard-A-Kid is a compliment to Boggess' passion and commitment to the overall well-being of children and their families, which inspired the opening of KidZone Daycare.

At the event a Guard-A-Kid Child Safety Specialist will photograph, fingerprint, measure, weigh, and compile other identifying information on participating children in order to produce a package for their parents that includes two wallet IDs, a file ID, a CD-ROM with all the ID information in electronic form, along with Moblie Child ID, which enables parents to carry and transfer information with their phones. Having both printed and electronic IDs readily available with accurate and complete information, including all ten fingerprints, is highly recommended by law enforcement. According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children someone's child goes missing every 40 seconds. The first 3 hours are crucial for a safe return. However, it takes more than 2 hours to gather accurate and complete information from a panicked parent. Guard-A-Kid's complete Child ID packages gives parents a ready resource and peace of mind.

Todd Cromer, owner of Guard-A-Kid Myrtle Beach-Grand Strand, who also serves as a Child Safety Specialist, says it is rewarding to partner with daycares, schools, churches, communities, businesses, and other venues like KidZone who are concerned about child safety. Cromer also says Julie Boggess of KidZone and her staff exemplify that caring and cooperative spirit which strives for the welfare of children, their families, and our community.

KidZone Daycare is conveniently located in the Forestbrook area of Myrtle Beach at 3480 McCormick Road.
