Child Watch Policies

• Daily receipts must be turned into Child Watch Staff. Punch cards are to be kept by parents and they must be signed daily by Child Watch Staff when you first arrive. Unlimited Monthly Child Watch will be kept in records.

• Sick children are not allowed to attend the Child Watch due to our Healthy Child Policy. If upon arrival, staff notice visible symptoms, you may be asked to leave. If a child is on prescription medication for an illness they must be treated for a least 24 hours before utilizing the Child Watch. Symptoms we look for: watery, inflamed or crusty eyes/eyelids, deep or severe cough/heavy nasal colored discharge, fever, vomiting or diarrhea.

• Please sign in your child prior to working out and assure that staff has checked them in.

• There is a 2 hour time limit when leaving your child at the Child Watch. You must remain in the building during this timeframe. Failure to pick your child up in a timely manner three times will result in a loss of privileges.

• Please share your child’s potty training level with the Child Watch staff. If an accident occurs, you may be called unless you bring an extra set of clothes.

• Please label all items brought into the Child Watch, including diaper bags, blankets, bottles, cups, pacifiers, snacks, etc. The Y will not supply these items.

• Please feed and change your child before bringing them to the Child Watch.

• Please do not bring toys from home unless you are donating them. Toys may get misplaced or broken.

• Please pack a healthy snack in case your child needs to re-fuel! Snacks like carrot sticks, apple slices, crackers, etc. are recommended. ABSOLUTELY NO PEANUT PRODUCTS ARE ALLOWED.

• If your child's behavior includes bullying, biting, kicking, or hitting within three consecutive visits, your child will not be able to use our Child Watch for a week or until behavior has been resolved.
