Your Safety is Our Top Priority
At Sunshine Homestay, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our students. We understand the trust parents place in us when sending their children abroad, and we take every measure to ensure a secure and supportive environment.
Our Vetting Process
To ensure the safety and comfort of all our students, we conduct a thorough vetting process for every host family:
01
Background Checks
We conduct comprehensive background checks on all adult members of the household to ensure there are no criminal records or histories of inappropriate behavior.
03
Reference Checks
We contact personal and professional references provided by host families to verify their character, hospitality, and any previous experience with hosting students.
02
Home Visits
Before a family is approved to host, we visit their home to assess the living conditions, safety features, and overall suitability for hosting international students.
04
Ongoing Monitoring
Our commitment to safety continues even after the student moves in. We regularly check in with both the student and the host family to ensure everything is going well and to address any concerns that may arise.
Support for Students and Families
24/7 Support
We provide round-the-clock support to students and host families. Whether it’s an emergency or a simple question, we’re always here to help.
Orientation Sessions
We offer orientation sessions for both students and host families to help them understand expectations, cultural differences, and best practices for creating a positive homestay experience.
Safety Guidelines
We provide clear guidelines on safety, including emergency procedures, contact information for local authorities, and tips for living in the U.S.
Ensuring a Positive Experience
We are dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming, and enriching environment for all our students. Through careful selection and monitoring of our host families, we aim to ensure every student has a positive and memorable experience during their stay in Florida.
