OVERVIEW: The West Valley YMCA’s Licensed School-Age Child Care Programs and Summer Child Care Programs are group child care programs, with an average daily ratio of 1 qualified child care teacher for every 14 school-age children. Our license is issued by the California Department of Social Services Community Care Licensing Division, which approves, issues, maintains and regulates licensed care facilities (child care, family child care homes, senior care facilities, etc.). Under Title 22, we are not permitted to allow a child care teacher to supervise more than 14 children. At some sites, due to the way in which the program is set up, children may be cared for on a daily basis in smaller groups of 1 adult for every 12 or 13 children, however, this is not typical. WHAT IS GROUP CARE? The West Valley YMCA follows the Personal Care Group (PCG) system established by the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles. The PCG system is designed to keep your child safe and supervised at all times through continuous 15-minute headcounts, internal sign-in and out forms, absence verifications, travel logs and documentation. Each child in our program is assigned to a Personal Care Group, which, for the most part, they will remain in during the duration of the day, session or school-year. In their PCG, they will typically be assigned to one child care teacher who will provide the majority of their care for the day and ensure that their personal rights (License form 613A) are never violated. Typically, your child will engage in the day’s activities, meal and snack time, group time and team time with the child care teacher assigned as their personal care giver within their personal care groups. At the YMCA, we do not provide one-to-one adult-tochild services. We also do not provide care is groups smaller than 10-14 children --- typically your child’s PCG will consists of 12-14 children total. ONE-TO-ONE SERVICES: Families with children who may require one-to-one services (such as families with children who have a one-to-one aide while the child is at school during the school day) must set-up an appointment with the Senior Program Director of Child Care to determine the level of the child’s needs and better understand the strategies and techniques needed to help the child be successful in the Y program. The Y will do our best to meet the needs of the child but families need to understand that our program may not be the right fit for their child. The Y will provide resources to the families as appropriate. TAKE A TOUR BEFORE YOU ENROLL: First time enrollees / families who are interested in the YMCA Child Care Programs are STRONGLY encouraged to visit the center and observe the program PRIOR to registering. At the center, site staff will provide a tour, answer questions, and share about the program philosophy, general schedule of activities, staffing structure and qualifications, and the group-centered nature of the program, including teacher to child ratios. Please make an appointment by contacting the Child Care Center directly. We unfortunately cannot accept walk-ins for tours. Children MUST accompany parent(s) to the tour. We want to meet you and your child. THE 48 HOUR RULE: The West Valley YMCA has a “two (2) business days of 48 hours” policy for first-time enrollees. If your child is a first-time enrollee in our programs, the child may not start until we have received a complete registration packet, program fees have been paid and after two (2) business days of 48 hours has passed. This will give us time to review your registration packet. First time enrollees, please enroll in advance so that your registration is approved prior to the start of a program, session or school year. Please be sure to also schedule an appointment so that you can tour the facility and introduce your child to the center staff and director. Friday enrollments will be approved for a Tuesday start date and Monday enrollments will be approved for a Wednesday start date, and so on and so forth. Returning children and families may start right away and may also start a program on the same day that they re-register. This includes families who continuously attend only our Summer Child Care Programs. UPDATED! TRIAL PERIOD: After a family enrolls in our program and pays the registration fee and the enrollment fees (either for the first month of before / after school care or for their first session of summer child care or a seasonal weekly program) the family may qualify for a trial period. Families may qualify for a trial period if they are enrolling a child or children for the very first time into our program. “Our program” is defined as before / after school care or any seasonal child care program on a weekly session schedule. For before and after school care, the trial period is three (3) school days. For any seasonal child care program on a weekly session schedule (such a summer child care or seasonal programs), the trial period is one (1) program day. For the three (3) day trial period and for the one (1) day trial period, some restrictions do apply. During the trial period, the family and / or the Y will can make a determination as to whether or not the YMCA is able to meet the child’s individual needs and interests. The Y staff will work in partnership with families to address any issues or concerns with the child. If the Y is unable to meet the child’s needs or interests, or if the child becomes a danger to themselves or others, arrangements must be made for the family to find another child care provider or more appropriate program. If this determination is made by the Y or the family, the Y will immediate terminate the child’s services and the parent will receive a full-refund of all enrollment fees paid, with the exception of the required registration fee, which will not be refunded. This type of refund is called a “child care trial period refund”. To qualify for a child care trial period refund, the family must request the refund within the applicable timeframe. For before / after school, the trial period is three (3) school days. The refund must be requested within 5 calendars days after the child’s third day of care. In addition to this, the refund must be requested within two weeks of the child’s first day, regardless of if they attended a second or third day. If the child attends the program for a fourth day, the family is disqualified from receiving a child care trial period refund. For any seasonal child care program on a weekly session schedule, the period is one (1) program day. The refund must be requested within 3 calendars days after the child first day of care. In addition to this, the refund must be requested within one week of the child’s first day. Refunds will only be considered for approval if they are within the appropriate, above listed, qualifying timeframes. Any requests outside of the qualifying timeframe will be denied. If approved and if a child care trial period refund is issued, the entire family is disqualified from requesting a second child care trial period refund indefinitely, including if they re-enroll into our programs in the future. This disqualification extends to all current and future members of the household, including younger siblings to the original child who qualified for the refund. If a child is enrolled in any of our seasonal child care programs that are on a weekly schedule and the child begins that program on a day where there are only three program days left in the week (for example, a Wednesday) the child and the family is automatically disqualified from requesting or receiving any type of refund, including the trial period refund. Similarly, the child care trial period refund does not apply to any single one-day or single two-day program of any type (before / after school, any seasonal child care program on a weekly schedule, full-day single care, etc.). Similarly, if a child is enrolled in a before /after school program and the child begins that program on a day where there are only three program days left in the month (for example, the March 29, 2016), the family is automatically disqualified from requesting or receiving any type of refund, including the trial period refund.

I acknowledge that I have received a copy of the YMCA 2016 Summer Child Care Program Handbook and will comply with the policies set forth. I further acknowledge that I have received copies of the following documents required by the State of California Community Care Licensing: “Parents Right (LIC 995)”, “Personal Rights (LIC 613A)”, “Parent Handbook”, “Fee Schedule Page”, “Caregiver Background Check Process (LIC 995E) and “Acknowledgment of Receipt of Licensing Reports” if applicable. Some of these documents are located in this registration packet, while others are located in the Parent Handbook. B. Field trips, either by walking or in YMCA vehicles or chartered buses are a part of the Child Care program activities. No additional permission slips will be required. C. Authorization for the YMCA to take photographs, videos, motion pictures and /or sound recordings of the child care participant of members of the participant’s family. I further grant the YMCA permission to use the photographs video, motion pictures or sound recordings in its general publicity materials. See attached waiver. D. The YMCA staff and volunteers are not allowed to babysit or transport children at any time outside of the YMCA program (The YMCA will take immediate staff and volunteer disciplinary action if a violation occurs). Staff are not permitted, under any circumstances, to transport children in their personal vehicles. E. That I am not allowed to leave my child at the YMCA program center unless a YMCA staff is there to receive and supervise my child. F. That should a person arrive to pick up my child who appears to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, for the child’s safety, staff may have no recourse but to contact the police. (Please do not put staff in a position where they have to make this judgment call.) G. That the YMCA is mandated by state law to report any suspected child abuse or neglect to the appropriate authorities for investigation. H. That per Department of Social Services, Community Care Licensing, Title 22 regulations, and my child’s file is available for review by the Department of Social Services and representatives from these agencies may interview my child without prior parental/guardian permission. In addition Law Enforcement personnel may request the information listed in your file and may interview your child if necessary. I. If your child is suspended from the program due to behavioral / discipline issues, you have exactly 30 minutes to pick-up your child from the program center; the child can be picked up by either a parent or a parent’s designee (designee listed on the enrollment form authorized for pick-up). Furthermore, an additional day of suspension will be added for every 30-minute period that the child is not picked-up from the site. An additional day of suspension will be added at the 31st minute and an additional day will be added every 30minutes thereafter, for a maximum of up 3 additional days. Parents will not receive reimbursement, credit or refund for these missed days, including the missed days of the original suspension. It is important for parents to pick-up their child immediately if suspended due to discipline issues. Our goal is to provide your child with a stimulating environment that keeps them engaged in positive behavior. Unfortunately, some severe discipline issues can arise throughout the day that require immediate parent intervention and possibly a suspension from the program for any set amount of days. J. That the YMCA may terminate my child’s enrollment for any of the following reasons: • Emergency names and phone numbers are incorrect. • Parent is late picking up child after program center closes. • Non-payment, late payment or ATS reject of fees. • Failure to adhere to the sign in and out policy. • Failure to notify the YMCA that the child is absent. • Child leaving the program center without authorized permission. • Behavior that is continually disruptive or dangerous to others and/or self. Admissions Agreement – Page 2 of 2 • (Continued from letter J) Behavior that is disruptive to property and/or refusal to replace said property. • Any single incident that is deemed by the program center director to be dangerous, harmful or disruptive. • Harassment, violent behavior or threat of such behaviors against a staff person or other member by parent/guardian or persons associated to the child (family member, family friend, etc.). K. That program participation requires that my account is in good standing with all balances up to current. This includes program fees and membership dues (if applicable). Non-payment of program fees and / or membership dues (if you are a facility member) will result in my child not being allowed to participate in the program and could result in legal referral with the additional costs to myself, until the balance is paid and current. I further understand that there is an administrative processing fee for any payment returned by my bank or credit account. L. The YMCA and the staff employed by the YMCA will not become involved in custodial disputes between parent/guardian. If YMCA documents are requested, the court must request them. The staff’s responsibility is to provide a safe environment for children. M. I understand I am required to give 15 days’ written notice when terminating my child from YMCA child care programs. If 15 days is not provided I will not receive a refund or credit and I will be billed or charged as regularly scheduled. Registration Fees are non-refundable. N. Pick-Up of Child from Child Care Center: I understand and agree that in the event my child is not called for by closing, the Child Care Center will immediately make every attempt to contact me, or other persons authorized by me to take my child from the center. If I or my authorized individual cannot be located, or if satisfactory arrangements for calling for the child cannot be made, that the office will continue to try to locate me or another designed person; but if those efforts are unsuccessful within a reasonable period of time (one hour), the appropriate law enforcement and welfare authorities will be contacted, and my child may be released to the custody of those welfare authorities as a possible ward of the Juvenile Court. I hereby release the YMCA, its employees and agents, from all liability for any damage sustained by my child or by me which results directly or indirectly from the procedure outline above. I further agree that if this procedure must be utilized because I fail to pick-up my child on time from the center, or because any person designated by me fails to pick up my child on time from the center, I will indemnify and hold the YMCA Child Care Center harmless for any damage sustained by my child. I hereby release the YMCA, its employees and agents from all liability and responsibility for any damaged sustained y my child after closing time. I understand and agree that if my child is not called for at the designated time, my child and I may be dropped from the program. I have read the foregoing acknowledgement and release. My signature below indicates that I understand and agree to it. O. My child, listed below has my permission to participate in all activities which are a part of the YMCA Child Care Program. These activities include water play, use of the playground and apparatus, woodworking, cooking, animal care, messy arts and crafts, adult supervised walks in the immediate neighborhood / community of the YMCA Child Care Center, field trips and other active play experiences typical in a Child Care Program. I, the undersigned, hereby release and discharge the YMCA, officers, employees, agents and servants (herein, collectively referred to as the YMCA). For the purpose of this agreement, liability means all claims, demands, losses, courses of action, suits or judgments of any kind that I, my heir, executors, administrators or assignees may have again the YMCA because of any loss or damage to property that results from any cause other than the negligence of the YMCA. I have no objection to my child being included in photographs, slides or movies taken in the YMCA which might be used for the purposes of interpreting the Child Care Program. I understand that college students may be making observations at the YMCA as a part of class assignments and that any photography or observation will be done only under the supervision of the director. I understand that the discipline methods use with my child shall include warnings, redirection, denial of privileges and logical consequences. Continued behavioral issues may warrant a suspension from the program, as outlined in our Parent Handbook (see Positive Discipline section). I have read, understand and agree to the stipulations and policies in the child care registration packet and policy handbook and realize that abuse of the policies may lead to the termination of my child’s enrollment.

I have read and understood the contents and information within the 2016 Summer Child Care Program Parent Handbook. • I understand that I can sign-up pay for the Summer Child Care Program in one of the following ways: 1. Pay for the child care sessions upfront and in advance using cash or credit 2. Reserve sessions for our Summer Child Care Program by setting up an Automatic Payment Plan using my checking/savings or credit card account. 3. Walk-in payment session-by-session (week-by-week) without a reservation and without a guarantee of a space. • I understand that due to the short turnaround, the YMCA cannot accept checks as a form of payment for the Summer Child Care Program. The YMCA will accept cash or credit only. • I understand that when I sign my child up for the Summer Child Care Program, I am required to pay a $50 registration fee for each child that I am enrolling in the form of cash or credit. After paying the registration fee, I may register my child for a Summer Child Care Program session or sessions using one of the following options: (1) pay for the Summer Child Care Program sessions upfront and in advance using cash or credit or (2) reserve Summer Child Care Program sessions by setting up an Automatic Payment Plan using my checking/saving account or credit card account. Session fees will be deducted for each session on each payment draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes (Payment draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes is one week in advance of each session – the draft will happen at 12:01 am on Mondays). I will be subject to a $25 service charge for all returned items due to insufficient funds and my enrollment may be cancelled. I can re-enroll my child if space is available. Although not recommended, I can pay session-by-session (week-to-week), before, on or after the payment draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes, in-person, at the YMCA. However, I understand that this method of paying is not a reservation and is subject to space availability at the time that I make the full payment for a session. There is no preregistration or reservation (saved space) if I choose to pay this way. Automatic Payment Plan Draft Schedule / Deadline for Cancellations and Changes Weekly Dates Draft Date & Weekly Sessions 1-5 Deadline for Sessions Cancellations or 6-10 Changes Session 1 June 13 – June 17 June 6 Session 6 Session 2 June 20 – June 24 June 13 Session 7 Session 3 June 27 – July 1 June 20 Session 8 Session 4 July 5 – July 8 (4 days) June 27 Session 9 Session 5 July 11 – July 15 July 5 Session 10 Dates July 18 – July 22 July 25 – July 29 August 1 – August 5 August 8 – August 12 August 15 – August 19 Draft Date & Deadline for Cancellations or Changes July 11 July 18 July 25 August 1 August 8 • I understand that there is a $50 non-refundable registration fee due for each child in order to sign-up for the Summer Child Care Programs. This fee is non-refundable, even if my child never attends our programs. The YMCA will not refund, credit or transfer this fee for any reason. I understand that the Child Care Department has two annual registration fees per year. There is a $50 registration fee for programs that take place in the school-year. This fee must be paid annually (once per school year). The school year programs include fall, winter and spring full day Child Care Program and before / after school programs. I understand that there is a separate $50 registration fee for child care programs that takes place in the summer. This fee must be paid annually (once every summer). The summer programs includes our Summer Child Care Program and the Traditional Day Camp at the Y. The two registration fees do not cover each other. Once I pay the registration fee for summer, I will not have to pay it again during the current season. I will not have to pay it again until next summer. Similarly, for the school year programs. Once I pay the registration fee for the school year, I will not have to pay it again during that current school year. I will not have to pay it again until the following school year. I understand that the registration fees are annual and must be paid each year; once a year for summer and once a year for our school year child care, if I intend to participate. For the school year, I would not need to pay the registration fee until I enroll in a school year program, such as before / after school or a seasonal full-day program (such as our fall, winter or spring Child Care Program). • I understand that I may cancel my child’s enrollment for any session as long as I request it on or prior to the payment draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes of the session or sessions I am requesting to be cancelled from. After the payment draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes, the YMCA will not approve any cancellations from the program. To request a cancellation from a session or sessions of the Summer Child Care Program, I must request a Summer Child Care/Day Camp Exit & Cancellation Form. I understand that I must complete and return the form on or before the draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes or draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes of the session or sessions I am requesting to cancel from. I understand that the YMCA will only approve cancellations requested before the deadline. If I do not want to cancel, but want to make a change to my enrollment, I understand that I must complete a Summer Child Care/Day Camp Transfer & Changes Form. I understand that the YMCA will be happy to make any cancellations to my enrollment as long as I submit the request on or prior to the draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes for the session or sessions I are requesting. • I understand that a transfer request is a request for a change to my child’s enrollment that allows me to transfer (or switch) the same child from one or more week session(s) to another week or other week session(s). This is being offered to me as a convenience, as the YMCA understands that scheduling conflicts may arise during the summer. I must complete a Summer Child Care/Day Camp Transfer & Changes Form and identify which session(s) I am transferring from and which session(s) I want to transfer to. Transfers are subject to space availability at the child care program site I am transferring to. I may make one transfer per summer, per child, for free of charge. I understand that any additional transfers after the first free transfer is $10 per session, and per child, and that I am responsible to make this payment to the YMCA along with my request. I understand that the $10 fee is due at the time of the transfer request and is contingent upon whether or not space is available and the request is made on or prior to the draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes. The deadline for a transfer request for a specific session or sessions is the same as the draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes (listed on the chart above). All transfer requests must be submitted by 10:00 pm on or before the draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes for the session or sessions I am requesting for the YMCA to change. • I understand that the YMCA will not issue credits for missed days of program or missed days of a session. The YMCA will not issue credits for missed days of any session due to the wait period requirements for first time participants. If a refund is approved, I may request it in the form of a program credit. • I understand that I may request a refund for the Summer Child Care Program using the refund request form. I understand that there is a $25 refund fee for all approved refunds that will be deducted from the total refund amount approved. The $25 refund fee is per session and per child. If I am requesting a refund for several sessions and it is approved, I will be assessed a $25 refund fee for each session and for each child. I understand that the refund request form is exactly what it states, a request. Completion of the refund request form does not guarantee me a refund. The draft date & deadline for cancellations and changes (listed on the chart above) is also the deadline to request a refund for each session. If I am requesting a refund for a session or sessions and it is after the draft date & deadline for cancellations and change for that session, I understand that the refund will not be approved under any circumstance. For example, the final payment for Session 1 is due June 6. June 6 is also the deadline to request a refund or to make changes for Session 1. • I understand that in order for the YMCA to be fair to all program participants, only parents who have paid for the program weekly sessions will have their child or children listed on the weekly session roster. I understand that if I am paying via a draft from their checking, savings or credit account, my child will automatically be on the roster for the session once my payment has successfully be transferred to the YMCA. I understand that if my draft is declined due to Non-Sufficient-Funds (NSF) or any other account issues, my child’s enrollment will be cancelled from the roster and the space will be opened for enrollment. I may re-enroll if space is available. I understand that when a draft payment does not go through, the YMCA Accounting Department will reach out to me or the account holder to obtain payment. I understand that failure by the YMCA Accounting Department to reach me or the account holder is not an excuse for a non-payment, nor does this reserve me the right to have a reserved space. The YMCA encourage me to check my accounts weekly to ensure that payments has been successfully processed and that I should contact the YMCA Accounting Department at the West Valley YMCA to correct any payment issues. I understand that if I am opting to pay session-by-session (week-to-week), via a walk-in payment, my child will not be added to the roster until the full payment is made. I understand that the YMCA does not accept reservations or partial payments. In order for my child to be enrolled in the program and on the weekly session roster, a full payment must be made. I understand that there are no reservations allowed and YMCA cannot save spaces. The only way to guarantee my child’s enrollment is to pay for the sessions in advance or set-up a weekly draft, if space is available. • I understand that the Summer Child Care Program closes each day at a specific time. If I pick up my child late, I will be charged a late pickup fee of $10 for every 15 minute period that I am late in picking up my child, beginning 60 seconds (1 minute) after the program closes. Unless noted, all YMCA child care program centers close at 6:00 pm. Our Bay Laurel location operates until 6:30 pm on all days of operation, unless otherwise noted. • I understand that during the summer season, the Summer Child Care Program will be closed at all locations on Monday, July 4, 2016. Although this is a shortened session, the YMCA does not prorate the cost of the session and, if I have selected this session (Session 4), I must be prepared to pay the full weekly session program fee. • I understand that the YMCA does not prorate, issue credits or refunds for missed days of session or late registration. The YMCA is not responsible for personal schedule conflicts. The YMCA does not prorate for wait periods for first time participants. • I understand that the YMCA will not accept deposits, partial payments, or split payments for the Summer Child Care Program 2016. The YMCA will allow you to register after the payment draft date & deadline for cancellations or changes by walk-in if space is available. • I understand that the YMCA reserves the right to combine or cancel programs due to low enrollments. • I understand that the YMCA reserves the right to limit the age or grade range for any program. • I understand that if my child is involuntarily removed from the program (suspended or expelled) due to behavior problems, I will not receive a refund, credit or transfer of any kind for any fees paid. • I understand that if my child is suspended from the program due to behavioral / discipline issues, I will have exactly 30 minutes to pick-up my child from the program center; my child can be picked up by either by myself, another parent or my designee (designee listed on the enrollment form authorized for pick-up). Furthermore, an additional day of suspension will be added for every 30-minute period that my child is not picked-up from the site. An additional day of suspension will be added at the 31st minute and an additional day will be added every 30minutes thereafter, for a maximum of up 3 additional days. I understand that I will not receive reimbursement, credit or refund for these missed days, including the missed days of the original suspension. It is important that I pick-up my child immediately if my child is suspended from the program due to discipline issues. The YMCA’s goal is to provide my child with a stimulating environment that keeps them engaged in positive behavior. Unfortunately, some severe discipline issues can arise throughout the day that require immediate parent intervention and possibly a suspension from the program for any set amount of days. • I have read and understood the West Valley Family YMCA’s Trial Period policies and procedures listed on the child care welcome letter. I fully understand all procedures related to the child care trial period refund request. • I understand that if I have applied for financial assistance, I must wait until my application is approved before enrolling in any Summer Child Care Programs.

The West Valley YMCA has partnered with the Child Care Resource Center and other child care subsidizing agencies to provide free or low cost child care services for our YMCA Before and After School and Summer Child Care Programs to families who qualify. The West Valley YMCA is proud to partner with these community based agencies to make our programs accessible to all families, regardless of their ability to pay the full fee. These partnerships are extremely valuable to us and we are hopeful to remain connected to these agencies for years to come. It is important that families not only follow the YMCA guidelines for participation in these subsidy programs, but also the guidelines of the subsidizing agency. Our partnership is put at risk when families make the choice not to follow the rules or guidelines. Effective immediately, the following guidelines and rules will be enforced for all families in our YMCA child care programs who receive subsidy from an outside agency: • • • • • • • • Agency timesheets must be completed daily. o When the child arrives from school, the Y staff will sign the child into the program and notate their time on the timesheet. The parent or authorized adult will notate the time when the child is picked-up from the program. o When the child arrives to our program from home (such as when we offer full-day child care), the parent or authorized adult must notate the time on the timesheet at both drop-off and pick-up. o This must be completed daily. Families are not permitted to complete timesheets at the end of the month. The timesheet must be completed daily (Every day that the child is in the program). Children are expected to be in the YMCA program every day that the program is in operations and within the parameters of the option your child is registered within. Pro-longed absences from the child care program may result in the Y’s refusal to provide child care services and thus, the cancellation of the subsidy contract. Ill children should not attend program. Families are required to sign the timesheet on the last day of the month. Timesheets may never be taken from the YMCA facility under any circumstances. Timesheets will remain in the site sign-in/sign-out binder at all times. Both the agency timesheet and the YMCA sign-in/sign-out forms must be completed each day. Parents are responsible for balances not paid by their subsidizing agency. If your subsidizing agency does not make a full payment to the YMCA, you will be invoiced for the remaining balance. Additionally, all families are required to pay the annual registration fees for our programs, as this fee is not covered by your subsidizing agency. Families who fail to comply with these guidelines and rules will be removed from the YMCA program. When one family is not compliant with these guidelines, it places all families receiving subsidy from the same agency at risk. It is vital that families comply with these guidelines, effective immediately. On the first business day of the month, the YMCA expects to have a completed timesheet for your child for the previous month, including a signature from the parent. Failure to have a complete timesheets will result in your removal from the YMCA program. The YMCA is required to audit and submit timesheets by the deadline. Families with incomplete timesheets hold up the submission of all timesheets for all child care facilities/programs in the West Valley Family YMCA. It also delays our payments by up to 60 days. This form must be signed and returned with your registration packet prior to the start of the program. Families who do not have Subsidized Child Care Contracts on file will be responsible and billed for the full fee to the West Valley Family YMCA. The YMCA understands that these policies are being strictly enforced. Unfortunately, many families have taken advantage of these subsidy services and not completed their part of the agreement. It is our desire to continue to partner with these agencies to provide this service to you. Please continue to do your part so that we can do our part, which is to develop your youth and help them reach their full potential. Parent/Guardian Signature: Parent Name (Please print) Name of Child being enrolled in YMCA program: Date WEST VALLEY FAMILY YMCA GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CHILD QUESTIONNAIRE At the Y, we strive to develop the whole child. This includes understanding the children who participate in our programs and understanding their family. As a part of our registration and enrollment process for all children, we require all families to complete this questionnaire about their child. The information you provide will help us to best provide care for your child’s individual needs. This questionnaire is required, as this information is extremely valuable to your Site Director and Site staff. The information below will provide us with information about your child’s daily routine, social development, health and family. CHILD’S NAME SEX: ✔ M F BIRTH DATE (M/D/Y) Who does your child live with?

Parent/Guardian Signature: Parent Name (Please print) Name of Child being enrolled in YMCA program: Date WEST VALLEY FAMILY YMCA POSITIVE DISCIPLINE POLICIES It is our intent that each child enjoys the activities planned by understanding that she/he is responsible for her/his actions. With prior knowledge of our basic rules of safety and good conduct, each child is made aware of how to exercise self-discipline. We are here to assist her/him and to know that we expect her/him to succeed. YMCA house rules and anti-bullying strategies will be reviewed weekly at the Child care site. We also use positive reinforcement by consistently acknowledging good behavior. The expectations listed below are the general expectations we have for all of our program participants: • Respect for yourself, for others, and for property. • Safety first. • Speak for yourself/listen attentively. • Be responsible for your words and actions. Philosophy The YMCA strives to maintain a positive approach to managing children’s behavior at all times. “Discipline” is the process of teaching self-control and the ability to live within limitations and agreed upon guidelines. The staff and children at each Child care site establish expected behavior guidelines. Positive behavior is self-rewarding and allows for program activities to run smoothly. When children choose to behave outside of the guidelines, some consequence is required to avoid future problems. The overall safety of all children in the program is our highest priority. Breaking Program Rules • If a child is not following the rules, he/she will be reminded of the rules. • If the child continues to break the rules, he/she will be asked to leave that area and find another area to play in. • If the child still fails to follow the rules, the Teacher will assign an area for the child. • If the behavior has not improved by this time, the child will be removed from the group and placed directly beside a Teacher or staff member. Threatening the Safety of the Staff and/or Children in the Program • If a child threatens the safety or health of anyone in our program by hitting, kicking, biting, pushing, spitting or any other dangerous act they will receive a verbal warning. • If the behavior continues after the verbal warning has been given, the parent will be called to pick the child up within a half an hour. Credit will not be reimbursed for this day. • After returning to program, if the child continues this behavior, the parents will be called to pick the child up within a half an hour and the child will be suspended for one (1) program day. Credit or refund will not be reimbursed for these days. A parent conference with the Director will be mandatory at this time. • The next time the child is required to be picked up for inappropriate behavior, they will again need to be picked up within a half an hour and this time the child will be suspended for three (3) program days. Credit or refund will not be reimbursed for these days. • Upon returning to program after a three day suspension and the child’s behavior continues, the parent will be called to pick their child up within a half an hour and the child will receive his/her final suspension of one program session (5 program days). Credit or refund will not be reimbursed for these days. • After the final suspension, if the inappropriate behavior has not stopped, the parent will be called to pick the child up within half an hour and the child will be expelled from the program thereafter. There will not be any reimbursements of any kind. • Drugs, alcohol, lighters, weapons, electronics, cell phones, animals (dead and alive), and other such items, are not allowed at the child care center/program. There are some cases where a child will be sent home and/or suspended on the first violation. This is left to the Director’s discretion. The Director also reserves the judgment to suspend a child for additional days based on the severity of the incident and the behavior. Suspension from Program If your child is suspended from the program due to behavioral / discipline issues, you have exactly 30 minutes to pick-up your child from the program center; the child can be picked up by either a parent or a parent’s designee (designee listed on the enrollment form authorized for pick-up). Furthermore, an additional day of suspension will be added for every 30-minute period that the child is not picked-up from the site. An additional day of suspension will be added at the 31st minute and an additional day will be added every 30-minutes thereafter, for a maximum of up 3 additional days. Parents will not receive reimbursement, credit or refund for these missed days, including the missed days of the original suspension. It is important for parents to pick-up their child immediately if suspended due to discipline issues. Our goal is to provide your child with a stimulating environment that keeps them engaged in positive behavior. Unfortunately, some severe discipline issues can arise throughout the day that require immediate parent intervention and possibly a suspension from the program for any set amount of days.
