KIDS CLUB RULES:
SIGNING IN: Sign in each child on their own line. For safety reasons, parents/guardians must remain at the Y while their child(ren) is in Kids Club. No adults other than employees are allowed past the desk.
CAPACITY: Maximum capacity of 12 children. Reservation is required.
DIAPERING: Parents are responsible for leaving their children in Kids Club wearing clean diapers. Kids Club is not equipped for diaper changes. Parents/guardians will be called over the PA system to change their child.
CRYING/UPSET CHILD: If this is your child's first time away from you, we will do everything we can to console your child(ren) if they are upset. We will not let them cry longer than 15 minutes or the allotted time you tell us before coming to get you. If we need to come and get you, your name will be announced over the PA system. Please come right away and pick up your child. We encourage you to try leaving your child with us again because we have found that children who consistently use Kids Club soon become comfortable with the staff and the surroundings.
FOOD: Snacks and drinks for your child are allowed but not provided. Please have containers labeled with the child's name. Snacks containing nuts, peanuts, or peanut products are not allowed.
TOYS: All Kids Club toys are cleaned and checked for safety regularly. Please leave personal toys, coins, candy, gum, and other small objects at home. The Superior YMCA is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
ILLNESS: We cannot accept a child if they have had symptoms of illness within the past 24 hours, such as (but not limited to) fever, diarrhea, cough, lethargy, unexplained rashes, and/or vomiting. Children suspected of illness will be sent home and asked not to return for at least 24 hours after symptoms are gone.
DISCIPLINE POLICY: Our discipline policy is redirection. If a child's behavior poses a continuous threat to the safety of other children, we will ask you to remove your child.
EMERGENCIES: Kids Club staff are trained in CPR, Shaken Baby Syndrome Prevention, Blood-Borne Pathogens, and First Aid. Parents/Guardians will be notified of an accident or injury that involves their child.
CHILD ABUSE: Cases of suspected neglect or child abuse will be reported to the proper authorities as outlined by state law.
