Position Summary The School Safety Officer (SSO) assigned to early learning centers is a highly visible, family-facing professional who helps maintain a safe, secure, and nurturing environment for young children.

The SSO protects children, staff, families, visitors, and center property while modeling professionalism, respect, responsiveness, and cultural competence.

More than a security presence, the SSO is a relationship-builder, first responder, and proactive partner embedded in the center’s child-focused mission. Key Responsibilities Campus Security & Patrols:

  • Maintain a visible presence across classrooms, common areas, playgrounds, entrances/exits, and parking/drop-off zones to deter misconduct, address safety hazards, and support an orderly, child-safe environment.

Conflict Resolution & De-Escalation:

  • Use trauma-informed, developmentally appropriate de-escalation to resolve conflicts while preserving dignity and calm.
  • Coordinate promptly with center leadership and family services for elevated concerns.

Arrival/Dismissal & Site Traffic Safety:

  • Facilitate safe arrival and dismissal for infants and young children; manage car lines, crosswalks, stroller access, and high-traffic areas to minimize risk.

Community Engagement:

  • Build trusting relationships with children, families, educators, and support staff.
  • Reinforce expectations for safety and conduct with warmth and clarity.

Documentation & Reporting:

  • Record incidents, daily observations, and enforcement actions accurately and promptly in Valor Protection’s platform.
  • Provide same-day reports to center leadership for significant events.

Support Center Events & Programs:

  • Develop and execute tailored safety plans for family nights, celebrations, community events, and field trips, ensuring crowd safety and emergency readiness.

Medical Support:

  • Provide immediate assistance during medical events; apply CPR, AED, or first aid as needed; coordinate with center health staff and emergency services.
  • Maintain awareness of allergy/medical alerts and site-specific accommodations.
