Parent/Child Program Guidelines

1. Our children’s programs are designed to give you or your caregiver a special time with your child for playing, reading and spending interactive quality time together.

2. Please handle all situations concerning your child in a quiet, gentle manner.

3. Remain with your child at all times. No child will be allowed into the program area without his/her parent or caregiver.

4. Please do not bring snacks, drinks, or toys, with exception of bottles necessary for infants.

5. The more you participate, the more your children will participate, enjoy, and learn from their experience. Parents/Caregivers are strongly encouraged to interact as well!

6. Please be prompt. Story times are short and every minute is full of fun and learning opportunities.

7. Don't be afraid to leave. Some days children aren't in the right mood for story time. If a child is having a bad day or becomes disruptive, please feel free to take a break and try again.

8. Place all cell phones on vibrate mode, and please – if you feel you must answer your cell phone, take it outside.
