Standard Safety Procedures​

​

​All volunteers ages 18+ are background checked before entering a Kids Life room. No adult without a clear background check will be permitted in the classrooms.

 

Two Person Policy: Every class must maintain at least two volunteers in the classroom at all times, with at least one volunteer being an adult age 18 or older.

 

Bathroom Policy: Our volunteers will not assist in the changing of diapers, in the case your child requires a diaper change, you will be contacted by text through the number you provide at check-in. A volunteer will never be alone in the bathroom with a child at any time.

 

Allergy Policy: Southview Kids Zone is a nut-free environment. Parents can inform us of any additional allergies or medical concerns at registration. This information will be listed on your child’s name tag so teachers can be mindful of those concerns when dispersing snacks or treats. If your child develops any allergies after registration, just stop by our Southview Kids Sign-In area and they will be able to update your child’s information in our system.

 

Emergency Protocols: Our classroom is equipped with emergency protocols in case of fire, inclement weather or lockdown. If any of these events occur, please follow the instructions given from the platform in the auditorium. No children will be released during an emergency situation until the Southview Kids Team receives an all-clear from the proper authorities.
