KIDS CLUB

When you check your child in at the kids club, you and your child will be assigned a number corresponding with a sticker that you and your child will be required to wear during your stay. If your child needs assistance during your workout, the corresponding number will come up on the number display at the front of the studio space indicating your immediate presence in the Kids Club. • You will also be asked if your child has a snack, drink, infant bottle, etc. See below for snack/drink information. • If a person dropping off or picking up a child is not the person linked to the child, we need a permission form filled out from the person the child is linked to. (Example- if a child is linked to mom, we need a permission form from mom for dad to bring in or pick up that child). This helps us know for sure that each person bringing in or picking up a child at Kid’s Club is allowed to do so.

Parents are allowed to bring in a snack for their child(ren) but peanut products are not allowed in Kid’s Club so refrain from bringing in any snacks containing peanut products. We have children in Kid’s Club that have an extreme allergy to peanuts/products containing peanuts, so help us keep them safe. •We do encourage you to bring a snack for your child(ren). Oftentimes it can provide comfort for younger children, and older children become thirsty/hungry after playing. •We do not offer snacks on site. •Please make sure to label all of your child(ren)s belongings. This will help us make sure that they get the correct snack and to help us easily identify which bag is theirs, should we need to get something out of it. •We will feed infants and toddlers, and we will make bottles for them if requested. Please leave specific directions for preparing a bottle, if it is not already prepared.

Please remove shoes and place them in a cubby. Socks MUST be left on. If a child comes in with sandals, they are REQUIRED to have socks. Grip socks are available for purchase if needed. •If your child(ren) is wearing a coat or sweater when they come in, and they wish to take it off, please have them hang it on the coat hooks provided or place it in a cubby with their shoes.

A waiver of liability, a parent permission form is required for a member to bring in a child(ren) that is/are not their own. •The member is responsible for the $5.00 fee, unless the child has an existing Kid’s Club membership, Paid in Full or EFT. •The member that brings the child(ren) into the facility, accepts full responsibility for the child(ren).

We DO NOT encourage children to bring toys or books from home as they may carry contagious germs, and we do not want them to get lost or broken •If your child(ren) chooses to bring an item in, we cannot be held responsible if it is lost, damaged, or stolen. Storing the item in their cubby with their shoes is a safe option. •We DO NOT allow personal electronic devices in our facility. Examples include Game Boy, Nintendo DS, phones, tablets, and computers of any type. There are no exceptions made for this policy, and it is enforced to keep your child(ren) safe from potential unmonitored exposure.

Parents: 1.Parents are to properly check their child in before entering the gym. Properly checking a child in consists of 4 things: Making sure your child is clocked in and corresponding stickers have been issued. Labeling your child’s belongings, including snacks, drink cups, and diaper bags. Making sure your child has socks on. Having your child(ren) either sanitize their hands or wash their hands in the bathroom. 2.If your child has a dirty diaper, and you have not authorized Kids Club employees to change it, your child’s number will display on the monitor, and you are to promptly return to the Kid’s Club to change the diaper. (See diaper change policy below). 3.If your child has been crying constantly for more than 5-10 minutes, your child’s number will be displayed on the monitor. You may choose to return to the Kid’s Club and soothe your child, or you may take them home. We do try everything possible to soothe children; however, we do not want to over-stress the child and push them beyond their limits!

1.Children are expected to keep their hands and feet to themselves. No wrestling, hitting, pushing, or other harmful contact will be tolerated. 2.There is to be no jumping on/over tables, chairs, walls, gates, etc. 3.We encourage sharing, even at an early age. We understand that young children may not understand the concept of sharing, but we work to show them how to. 4.Toys are not to be thrown. 5.All Kids Club staff are to be respected. This means listening to them and not talking back. 6.Food is to be eaten in the designated areas. 7.Children must use inside voices. (No screaming) 8.No running is allowed, unless it is part of a supervised game that a teacher is monitoring. Encouraging your child to follow these expectations will help them to not only have fun, but also to help create an environment where everyone is safe. We understand there are multiple ages of children in our facility at any given time, and we do our best to make sure all children follow the expectations to the best of their understanding.

Kids Club staff will be happy to attend to diaper changes if these two stipulations are met: Child is between the ages of 6 months and 3 years old. Parent or guardian has given consent to changing their child (rens) diaper (s) in the notes to be printed on the child(rens) name tag(s). If a child is currently being potty trained, the child must be wearing a pull-up during his/her stay in the Kids Club. Please discuss with Kids Club staff the child’s potty training schedule so that we can assist in these efforts if possible. If an accident happens, your child’s number will be displayed on the monitor and you will be required to come attend to your child.

Please read this policy carefully, and ask questions if you need more information. This policy is enforced to provide a healthy and fun environment for all children and staff. If your child does not meet wellness guidelines at check-in or begins to exhibit symptoms that do not meet our guidelines while they are in the Kids Club, you will be asked to take that child home immediately. Any child that exhibits the following symptoms will not be allowed to enter the Kids Club. If the child begins to exhibit these symptoms while in the Kids Club, they will be asked to leave. 1.The child has a fever or has had a fever within the last 24 hours. (A fever is 99.9 degrees and above) 2.The child has a persistent cough. (coughing more than 4 times per hour) 3.The child has a consistent runny nose. 4.If the child is of teething age, the consistent runny nose is colored. 5.The child shows signs of infectious disease and has been on an antibiotic for less than 24 hours. Examples may include but not limited to, pink eye, RSV, strep throat, or hand, foot, and mouth disease. If the child has a health condition that causes them to show these symptoms, but they are not contagious, a doctor’s note is required before the child can re-enter the Kid’s Club. If the child is on antibiotics for an illness, a doctor’s note is needed, explaining what they are on antibiotics for and the date the child started taking them. If symptoms are shown the child will be asked to leave and will not be able to return to the facility for 48 hours. Once those 48 hours are past, if any symptoms are still shown a doctor’s note will be needed for reentry. Please show respect for all members and their children by checking your child for symptoms before you bring them in.

Incidents where someone is seriously injured, bleeding, or bruised: These incidents are handled at the staff’s discretion. Some incidents require the child to be sent home immediately. All serious incidents are noted in the child’s profile in the computer system and incident reports are filed. 1st Offense - Time Out Depending on the case, the child could be sent home after one offense. 2nd Offense – Time Out and Notify Parent of Incident If it reaches this point, the safety of the children and/or the staff has been compromised and the parent must remove them from our facility. 3rd Offense – Child is Sent Home **Parents are notified of any children involved in any serious incident.** Suspension and Banning from the Kid’s Club A child may become banned from the Kid’s Club if they have a high pattern of major offenses or display violent behavior. It is our job to keep all children and staff safe, therefore, a display of these behaviors will not be tolerated. Banning a child from the Kid’s Club is never an easy decision. Depending on the severity of the behavior, the first step is a 30-day suspension from Kids Club. If the behavior continues upon the return from a 30-day suspension, then the child will be banned for a full year from Kids Club. If you would like a physical copy of our kid’s club discipline policy, please see a Kid’s Club staff member or talk to the Kid’s Club manager with any additional questions.
