KidZone services do not fall under child daycare licensing regulation and are not licensed due to the limited number of hours a child is allowed to attend and the requirement that parents remain in the building.
- Y programs use positive guidance methods including reminders, distractions, logical consequences and redirection. These skills are taught through consistent rules and age appropriate behavior expectations. Occasionally a child may be removed from an immediate situation until he/she is able to gain control. Repeatedly disruptive or dangerous behavior may result in loss of privileges or activities, suspension or termination from KidZone.
- If your child is having trouble adjusting to the KidZone and becomes inconsolable, a staff member will locate you within the facility.
- The KidZone is an inclusive environment and will make every attempt to reasonably accommodate any child based on whatever needs may be.
