Playgroup Policies
- You may not drop off your child prior to 8:20am. Drop off runs from 8:30-9:00am.
- You must sign child in at the desk.
- For parents with children at BOTH LOCATIONS ONLY, there will be a 15 minute grace period pick up added to your pick up time.
- Late pickup policy: Any child being picked up after hours will be charged $1.00 per minute late. This fee will be payable, in cash, before the next day. No child will be admitted without payment.
- Prescription medicines will not be given by staff. You may come to the session and dispense medications to your child. Epi pens are exempt from this rule. On Monday, please bring an epi pen labeled with your child's name on it. Our head counselors will store the pens in a cooler for the week and return the pen to you at the end of the session. The cooler travels with the head counselors on field trips. Our head counselors and at least 2 staff members on site are CPR certificated and trained in the proper use of epi pen administration.
- No child is permitted to leave the group unless accompanied by a counselor. No child will be released to anyone unless that person is on the authorized pickup list you provide. There will be a sign in and out sheet.
- We are not responsible for lost or stolen articles.
- Families will be charged for any malicious damage done to town property or equipment.
- Children are expected to cooperate with the counselors. Any child who is considered disruptive may be asked to leave after a conference with parents. We reserve the right to cancel enrollment, with no refunds, at any time due to disruptive behavior.
- All children need to bring a lunch and drink and snack in a insulated bag or box.
