For your children’s security, we will ask the parent or immediate family relative to sign the child in and out and provide the location of where they’ll be in the McKendree MetroRecPlex (MMRP). We have these procedures in effect to insure the safety and security of your child.
In the case of any emergency or unusual situation, MMRP child care staff members will immediately contact the parent(s) in the building. A MMRP staff member will call for emergency medical assistance as necessary.
Your children should be healthy or otherwise free from colds, fever, rashes, headache, upset stomach, vomiting, diarrhea, or any contagious conditions to attend the child care.
Please remain in the MMRP building or on the grounds while their children are in our care.
If your children should bring toys into the Child Care, we ask that the you clearly mark the toys with names and remind your child to claim his or her toy at the end of their stay.
Please leave all electronic devices at home- including cell phones, tablets and personal video games.
Our staff will post the time for our periodic tornado or fire drills. We’ll conduct tornado drills indoors and will venture outdoors for fire drills. If for any reason you do not want your child to participate, please come to the Child Care at the pre-designated drill time to sit with your child.
You will check your child in the main child care area. Each of the 3 age groups will have 1-2 staff depending upon the ages and abilities of each group.
If your child is potty training or wears diapers, please bring extra diapering supplies. You can opt in or out for having our staff change your child’s diaper if needed.
The youngest age we care for is 6 weeks old and up to 12 years old. The oldest group of children will generally spend time in the KidzKave while the Infants/Toddlers/Young Preschoolers stay in the corner child care space.
The two classrooms are Nut Free and we appreciate all people entering the rooms to wash hands and make sure no nut products or wrappers come with the child into the rooms.
