CENTRAL PARK RULES & GUIDELINES
GENERAL RULES
  CP is open only to children 2-12  years of age. Children 5 and under must be supervised by one of their own parents who must stay inside the play area. Restrooms are available in the CP area. Older siblings age 14 and older are permitted to supervise younger siblings. If you are a childcare provider (14 yrs and older) or an adult bringing friends’ children, etc., you are responsible for those children.

  When in CP, children are required to remove their shoes and wear socks, no exceptions. Socks can be purchased for $1 per pair for those who forget to bring them.

  No food or beverages are permitted in Central Park during open play.
 
  The WCC sickness/illness policy applies to CP. The policy will be posted in CP and given to parents to read and sign when they register their child for CP.
   
  There will be no “drop-in” playtime permitted. Regular CP volunteers or WCC members cannot open up CP for play. Posted hours must be observed for safety and liability reasons. NO EXCEPTIONS.
   
  CP will remain open until 12:30 p.m. on Sunday mornings. All CP rules & guidelines must be observed.

DROP OFF GUIDELINES
  When children come to CP for the first time, their parents/responsible adult must register them, and read and sign a guideline sheet and waiver.

  Children cannot be "dropped off" inside the church but must be signed in by the parent/responsible adult who brings them to the building. The sign-in information will include the building location where the parent/responsible adult plans to be.

  Parents who leave their children (over 5 years of age) in CP must remain in the church at all times, and leave a building location (and cell phone number if available) so they can be notified if their child is ill or unruly.

  CP’s toddler area, when opened, is for children under 24 months old. A parent must remain with his or her toddler at all times.
