INTERACTION WITH CHILDREN

Every staff person is required to be engaged with children when working at Kids Club. Use of a cellphone, staff visiting with each other, sitting alone or with other staff members, is considered not paying attention to the children, is unprofessional and will not be tolerated. Checking social media, texting and other unnecessary usage of the cell phone during business hours may include termination if this policy is not adhered to!

Playing a table game with children is permissible, as long as staff watches children in other activities.

If all children present are appropriately involved in activities, staff members should be observing the entire area.

Employees may not eat or drink outside food or beverages during Kids Club hours. Kids Club snacks are to be enjoyed by the children- NOT the staff.

Staff members are hereby notified that if they are observed sitting, visiting, or not interacting with children it may result in disciplinary action which includes termination.
