Watford City’s Wolf Pup Daycare Partners with RTC Networks

Wolf Pup Expansion Creates Opportunities for Growth

When the Wolf Pup Daycare board decided to expand services with a new center in Watford City last year, they turned to RTC Networks to improve the security infrastructure in their main building. The new facility, along with the other Wolf Pup center, will now be able to serve over 450 area children with both daycare and preschool classes, according to Wolf Pup operator Tessa Moberg.

The new center will help address a critical care shortage in Watford City because, as Moberg notes:

“The community was suffering because no one could find child care that stuck around.”

The expansion will also offer the opportunity for Wolf Pup to provide part-time care – something they were unable to do with prior locations.

New Wolf Pup Safety Features

With RTC Network’s expertise and services, the daycare center now includes:

• Integrated Door Controls
  RTC Networks integrated the existing secure door control system into the Capture Camera system, providing Wolf Pup staff with remote access. This allows staff to monitor visitors and prevent unauthorized entry.

“If you don’t have a child here or aren’t an approved pick-up, you won’t be taking any kids with you. And that to me is huge,” says Moberg.

• RTC Networks Capture Camera System
  RTC Networks installed a camera system throughout the new facility to monitor activities. Moberg praises the quality and features of the new system, contrasting it with the camera system used in the other Wolf Pup facility from another provider:

“You could only tell which kid was which by the color of their shirt.”

• myRTCvoice Pro Business Phone System
  RTC Networks installed an updated phone system in the new building, which includes intercom speakers throughout the facility—inside classrooms, the gym, and even outdoors. The system allows for clearer announcements, which, Moberg notes, is especially valuable for a site with multiple classes of young children.

Educational Enhancements

Security was not the only improvement RTC Networks had in mind for Wolf Pup Daycare. The classrooms for the Early Learning Center have also added Smartboard technologies, giving students access to everything from interactive learning exercises to fitness videos. These adaptable technologies allow Wolf Pup to integrate current educational innovations while staying true to its mission of fostering students’ growth through hands-on learning, active play, and social learning opportunities.

Moberg and the Wolf Pup board continue to rely on the expertise of RTC Networks because RTC is part of the community they work to secure, and keeping children safe is something everyone understands is crucially important. Moberg praised the responsiveness of the RTC Networks team and the partnership they’ve created.
