Welcome to KIDKARE!  We take great pride in offering quality childcare services while you enjoy the variety of facilities and programs available at the Glenwood Springs Community Center.

Please take a moment to review these guidelines to help ensure a positive and safe environment for everyone.  We encourage your suggestions and comments and look forward to meeting your childcare needs.

1. Age Requirements:  Minimun 12 months and walking
2. Time Limit:  Parents or Legal Guardians may utilize our childcare facility for their children for a total of 2 hours per day.  While using childcare, parents must remain inside the facility at all times.
3. Waiting List:  In order to maintain a child to staff ratio of 7 to 1, we may need to start a waiting list during peak periods.  Additional children will be admitted to childcare as openings become available.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause (depending on ages in attendance we may accepte up to 10 children per staff).
4. Sign-in:  Parents are required to sign children in and out at each visit.  Unless other arrangements are made, children will only be released to the parent/legal guardian listed on the sign-in sheet.
5. Food/Drink:  Bottles and nonspilling sippy cups are allowed, please label them.
6. Comfort:  Occasionally, children have a hard time adjusting to being away from a parent.  The staff will attempt to comfort the child for a maximun of ten minutes; if this does not work parents will be notified.
7. Diapering:  We are not responsible for the child being changed, the parent will be asked to attend to that need.
8. Healthy Environment:  Sick children will not be admitted into KidKare.
9. Discipline:  We will use time-out as needed.  We reserve the right to have parents pick up thier children for disciplinary reasons.
10. Payment:  Pay a drop-in fee at the front desk (please give KidKare staff yellow card) or swipe your membership/punch pass in the Kidkare room.
