Surfside Kids Parent Info
When it comes to caring for children, we believe it's very important to provide a safe learning environment. We screen all volunteers and have an advanced check-in/check-out system.
Newborns through two years of age head to our nursery where lots of clean toys and personal attention await. This is a well-baby nursery; we accept only children who will not expose others to sickness.
What to bring:
- Two disposable diapers
- Pacifier or similar comfort item
- Complete change of clothes...just in case
- Bottle of milk, formula, juice, or water
- Please label all personal items with your child's first and last name
For younger children we provide a snack, usually consisting of Goldfish or Animal crackers with water to drink. Please tell a volunteer if there are any food or drink allergies or other concerns.
Well-child Guidelines:
We love having your children with us, but we want to keep all our kids healthy; so please note that we cannot accept any child who has any of the following conditions:
- Fever
- Vomiting or Diarrhea (even associated with teething and medication)
- Any symptoms of scarlet fever, German measles, mumps, chicken pox, cough, strep throat, flu, etc.
- Common Cold (from onset through one week)
- Sore Throat
- Croup
- Fifth Disease
- Any unexplained rash
- Pink eye or other infections (The child must be on medication for 24 hours and not exhibiting any symptoms before entering Surfside Kids.)
- Cloudy or green runny noses or persistent cough
What to do:
If it's your first time, please arrive 10 minutes early to get your child checked in and ready for fun!
- Register your child(ren) at the Surfside Kids Welcome Center.
- You'll receive a two-part nametag - one for your child and one for you to present to the childcare provider/classroom coach to pick up your child(ren). Allergies can be printed on the nametag.
- Nursery, toddler and twos parents will be provided a beeper so we can contact you if needed.
- Children in kindergarten through 5th grade are taken to their age-appropriate classroom...where the fun begins!
We look forward to meeting you this weekend! Have questions? Feel free to call 727.726.0202.
