General Information

Policies and Procedures

Minnesota State Law requires that parents remain in the building while their child is in PlayCare.
Parents must follow a sign-in and sign-out procedure that includes providing a Team Member with a photo ID or Community Center member card.
No child will be released to anyone other than the parents/guardians or other authorized persons listed on the child’s registration form.
Children may not leave the PlayCare area at any time and no child will be left unattended under any circumstances.
In consideration of Team Members and other children, we ask that parents do not bring a child if he/she has a fever above 98.6 degrees, diarrhea or vomiting in the past 24 hours, conjunctivitis, pus draining from eyes, unexplained lethargy, undiagnosed rash or green discharge from the nose.
For the safety of children with possible allergies, we ask that parents and children not bring open food or drinks into the PlayCare area.
For the safety of the children, over-the-counter and prescription medication is not permitted or administered in PlayCare. Exceptions may be made for children in need of emergency allergy medications or other special needs.
For safety reasons, children are not allowed to bring toys from home into the PlayCare area.
Parents will be paged or located to return to PlayCare if a child needs a diaper change, has been crying for more than 15 minutes, becomes ill, is perceived as needing to be fed, receives an injury or is disruptive to the PlayCare environment.
