Behavior
Children generally respond favorably to praise and encouragement to make
good decisions. It is KidTime™
's policy to focus on positive behavior. There are other times
when behavior warrants correction. In the interest of safety for all children
visiting KidTime™, individuals who are
exceptionally aggressive will be asked not to return to KidTime™ until there is a significant
improvement in their behavior.

Healthy Children
It is KidTime's strict policy NOT to accept
children who are ILL. Reasonable precautions are taken to safeguard
children against illness. Your cooperation is required in not asking us
to care for your children when they are sick. Please do not take your
child to KidTime with a cold, sore throat,
rash, cough, diarrhea or pink eye. Do not take a child who has had a
fever or has vomited in the past 24 hours. If a child becomes sick during
the course of their stay, the child will be separated from others (within
eyesight and hearing of our staff) and the parents will be contacted
immediately. Parents will be expected to pick-up their sick child in a
prompt manner. KidTime's staff has first aid training

event of a medical emergency, your child will be transported to an
appropriate medical facility by the local emergency unit for treatment at
the expense of the parents.
