Sign In/Out Procedure

Parents sign children in and out.  Parents must label their child’s snacks and place a nametag on the child.  It is best to label all of your child’s belongings.  Parents may not leave their belongings in the room.  The Y offers lockers for members while working out.  Children’s coats must be hung up outside of room.  Y is not responsible for lost or stolen items.

Release of children

Children will only be released to the same parent that signed them in.  Until we get to know parents and children, parents may be asked to show identification.  Your Y membership card is fine.

Health and Safety

Children should only attend the program when they are healthy.  If your child shows any symptoms of being ill you must submit a doctor’s note stating that they are not contagious.  Children who are home from school sick are not permitted in the room.  Please let staff know in writing of any allergies or special medical needs that your child has.

The classroom and all toys are cleaned and disinfected on a daily basis.

Bathroom/Diapers

We ask that parents bring their children to the bathroom and/or put on a fresh diaper before coming to the program. We will call parents to change any diapers or help children who are newly potty-trained and require assistance in the bathroom. Staff will escort older children to the bathroom and wait outside for them.

Emergencies/Fire Drills

In the event of an emergency, the staff will evacuate the children to the sidewalk on Ferris Place.  Parents should evacuate from the nearest exit and walk around to meet their child.  We have enough Y staff to safely evacuate the rooms.  Children MUST BE SIGNED OUT before leaving.
