Please do not send your child if he/she shows signs of illness including a fever, upset stomach, severe cold or cough, vomiting and/or diarrhea. Children must be fever free for 24 hours without medication in order to return to the center. Children who contract a communicable disease are not admissible to the center without a doctor’s note.

While the Little People’s Place environment is safe for children of all ages, accidents do happen. In the case of injury, you will be notified immediately. Each member of our staff is CPR and first aid certified.

Little People’s Place will be increasing the late fee. The late fee will be assessed after 6:30 pm. The fee is $1.00 per minute per child and is to be paid directly to the staff member present at the time. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THIS POLICY.
