KIDZ ZONE ENRICHMENT PROGRAM:
During the hours of 9:30am-11:30am Monday through Friday, children aged 3 and older participate in our wonderful enrichment program. They sing songs, learn the alphabet, create masterpieces and play in the gym. Please keep in the mind the following when participating in our enrichment program:

• Children attending the enrichment program must have reached their third birthday and must be fully potty trained. Please avoid difficult snaps and belts, since ACAC employees are not authorized to assist in the bathroom.
• For the safety of the children and to accommodate our growing program, children will be grouped by their age. It is important that this policy be enforced to facilitate a successful program for all children.
• Since the children rotate from activity to activity, we cannot allow toys from home.
• Please note that on special event days the enrichment program room may be changed. Please look for the helpful reminder sign located at the check in counter of Kidz Zone.
• If your child is going from Kidz Zone to an activity, please sign them up at the first or second level desk in adventure central at least 15 minutes prior to the activity.
• If your child is going from Kidz Zone to a swim lesson, please inform the concierge at the first level check-in.

SICK POLICY
To maintain a healthy environment for all children, we ask that you consider this policy when deciding to come in with a child whose health is questionable. Keep in mind that if your child is too sick to attend school, then he or she is too sick to attend Kidz Zone. We will summon parents of children who show any signs of illness while in our care. Children with the following conditions or symptoms will not be admitted into the Kidz Zone: Yellow or green nose discharge, Conjunctivitis (pink eye), Influenza, Diarrhea, Chicken Pox, Coxsackie's Virus and other contagious viruses. A doctor’s note is required for children to return to ACAC following a contagious condition.

ACCEPTABLE/UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR
ACAC expects children to respect others and their space, harmoniously participate in games, cooperate with ACAC employees, and be enthusiastic. Unacceptable behaviors include, profanity, disrespecting others and their space, failure to comply with a staff member’s directions, excessive horseplay and inappropriate or violent physical contact. ACAC does enforce a zero tolerance policy for biting and violent nature of any kind. The use of appropriate aged "time-outs" may be necessary and if needed a Kidz Zone Team member may contact you during your workout.

Biting Policy:  In order to ensure the safety of all children, ACAC has a policy in place to manage situations when a child bites. 

• When a biting incident occurs, the Kidz Zone team will immediately ask the parent to remove their child for the day from Kidz Zone.  The team will also then notify the parent of the child who was bitten. 
• Most children go through this biting phase as normal step of development.  The Kidz Zone team will take several measures to help you and your child if they are prone to this developmental situation including; diversion, additional supervision and repetitive behavior modification.
• We often ask parents to partner with ACAC in helping their children by using similar behavior modification at home and if possible attending Kidz Zone during non-peak hours until the phase has passed. 
• If the behavior persists, the Kidz Zone team will take the following actions to ensure that a safe and happy environment is maintained:
  • First Incident – child is removed for the day; parent notified with incident report
  • Second Incident within 30 days of first incident – child is suspended from Kidz Zone for two weeks; parental conference is recommended.
  • Third Incident within 30 days of first incident – child is suspended from Kidz Zone for four weeks; parental conference is mandatory.

Thank you for your cooperation in regards to the safety and well-being of your child and others! We look forward to spending time with your child and your assistance will help us provide the best possible experience.

Yours in Health!
