Family Y Adventure Zone
What is Child Watch?
We understand there’s been some confusion, so we want to clarify:
Child Watch is not a licensed childcare or educational learning facility. It is a short-term engagement space designed for your children to:
- Connect with other “tiny members” of the Y
- Stay active and stimulated with age-appropriate play
- Safely enjoy their time while you take time for yourself
The Adventure Zone (5 years-12 years old)
The Adventure Zone brings all the fun of an outdoor play structure indoors. In the Adventure Zone, children will have the opportunity to play on our indoor playground, draw and color at our activity table, and also challenge their friends to various board games.
Hours:
Monday- Friday 8:30am-1pm & 4pm-8pm
Saturdays 8:30am-12pm
*Hours may be extended to include weekday mornings when school is on break
We’ve set a cap of 30 children to maintain appropriate staff-to-child ratios and ensure active supervision.
Policies:
Children must be dropped off/ signed in by a parent or legal guardian 18 years or older. Children will only be released to the parent or guardian who dropped them off unless otherwise designated at time of drop off. Parent/ legal guardian must remain in the facility while their child is in our care.
Time Limit
2 Hours per Day
Food & Drink
Due to Allergies, we do not allow any snacks in either Child Watch location.
We allow clear drinks (water, apple juice, sports drink, etc.), but they must be in a sealed bottle or leak-proof cup. (pre-mixed milk bottles are allowed for infants).
Illness
Children who are sick will not be allowed in either Child Watch area. Symptoms include but are not limited to fever, cough, runny nose, vomiting, and diarrhea. Children must be symptom free for 24 hours before using our program.
Diaper Changes
Please bring your child in a clean, dry diaper. If your child needs a diaper change while in our care, a staff member will contact you or come find you if we cannot reach you.
