Yes, we at GC Kids follow the “age down” policy.
This is to protect the children and to make sure all the children are cared for with proper adult to child ratios and the overall age of the children in each environment.

Example: A family with children ages 7, 4 and 3 years old. The 4-year-old can stay with the 3-year-old and go to the 3-year-old’s classroom. We would never allow a 4-year-old to go to the 7-year-old’s classroom.

No..

We understand that you want to stay with your child and make sure that your child is safe and enjoying themselves while in our care.
Please know that your child’s safety is our number priority too. We strive to provide safe, fun, and engaging environments for all the children we get to serve.
We make sure everyone allowed in a classroom has passed a background checked.

All children birth-5th grade will need to be checked in at GC Kids Check-In using a computer kiosk located in the lobby.
At check in you will receive a name tag, for every child, and a matching an alpha-numeric security tag for the parent/guardian.
At pick you will need to present your security tag at the classroom before your child is released.

First-time guests are asked to fill out a guest connect/registration card, which gives us important information about you and your child.
Once the guest connect/registration card is complete, a member of the Kids Check in team will input the required information into the system and get your child checked in. You will receive a name tag, for every child, and a matching an alpha-numeric security tag for the parent/guardian. Children are also given an armband to signal to our dream team that it’s their very first visit.
You will need to present the security tag when you are ready to pick up your child. We will not release your child without this tag.

If you misplace it, the Children’s Director will verify your identity and confirm your account information before the child is released.

We make sure every child is checked in and receives a name tag with an alpha numeric code that matches the security tag the parent/guardian receives and will use at pick up.
We also gather important information at the classroom door about each child, as well as the contact number from the parent/guardian at drop off.
Please communicate any important or helpful information to your child’s teacher each Sunday

In the event we need to get in touch with a parent/guardian regarding the well-being and safety of a child we will contact you via a text message.
Please always keep your phone nearby on vibrate. If your child cries, our caring dream team members will immediately soothe your child. If your child cries for an extended period of 10-15 minutes, we will text you
