Weekly Schedule
With reservations at least 72 hours in advance, the nursery can be open at any time between 9:00am to 9:00pm. Parents must check with their activity leader to reserve childcare. You may drop your child off 15 minutes before your activity begins and pick them up within 15 minutes after your activity ends.

Nursery Policies 
All children must have an ID card on file. This will be kept in the nursery for one year. Please inform the sitter of any changes that may occur.

There will be a sign in sheet by the door with each scheduled activity's name. Prior to admittance, the sign in sheet must be completed with the child’s name, age, parent location, allergy alerts, and pick up time. 

After signing in, both parent and child will be issued matching ID bracelets, which are required to be worn at all times. Children will only be released to the adult wearing a matching ID bracelet, or to an adult whose name is listed as authorized to pick up on the ID card on file in the nursery.

All items brought  into the nursery must be labeled with the child’s name. This includes diaper bags, bottles, cups, blanket or anything else your child might need during their visit.

The nursery offers pagers to parents of newborns or anyone that feels it is necessary.


Ill Child Policy
Children with known illnesses are not admitted into the nursery. This includes fever, cloudy mucus, vomiting, diarrhea or rash. If your child becomes ill while in the nursery, you will be contacted to pick them up immediately. When a child has become ill while in the nursery, all other parents will be notified. The best policy is when in doubt stay at home. Your child will be more comfortable.
