Parent/Playgroup Guardian is responsible for your child during the
program. There will be a facilitator
that leads the group, but the facilitator is there to complement your guidance
of your child. Parents or caregivers are
expected to be responsible for both their child’s safety and behavior.
We recognize that parents and caregivers will
know how to provide the best experience for their respective child, so please
feel free to take breaks from the group or modify activities to suit your individual
child.
Some
children may be overwhelmed or uncomfortable about a group play situation
initially. Be patient with them. We’ll
all get “in the groove” in a couple weeks.
Please
do not bring snacks or drinks for your child during free play time. It will be distracting and confusing to other
children and can create a germ situation.
We will take turns bringing snacks and diluted juice or water during a
designated snack time. We
will certainly understand if you must supply your own snack/drink during our
snack time due to allergies or sensitivities. We highly recommend brining your
own sippy cup/water bottle that your child is familiar with.
Play
clothes are a must. We’ll work with
glue, markers, paint, and a variety of other art media throughout the
program. We’ll stick to washable
products as much as possible to reduce stains.
As
with any organized group activity, if you or your child is sick or has a fever, stomach distress, discharge (or
has within the last 24 hours) please refrain from bringing them to playgroup
that day. If you or a household family member have COVID please wait 5 days from contact to attend. If you show symptoms of any illness after having been at Playgroup,
please call us ASAP.
We
will be using toys that are easy to clean and sanitize in a commercial grade
dishwasher and sanitizer. All toys, floors, tables, chairs and surfaces will
have been cleaned before your arrival and again after your departure.
Playgroup will start on MONDAYS at 9:00am beginning
Mondays in
the ROUND Christian Life Center (CLC,
Building B) Building at the front of
campus (classroom 3).
If there are school closings due to Hurricane like
conditions, playgroup will also not meet.
Please park in the front (rectangular)
church lot. The Christian Life Center (CLC) is the round building (Building B) connected
to the breezeway awning. Follow the footprints to the Playgroup classroom. If
you have an older child in preschool, feel free to drop them to their room in
the ministry center & preschool building and then come up to the CLC
building for Playgroup. Preschool drop off will be going on the same time.
