*MORE DETAILS ON CHECK IN & CHECK OUT

WHAT WE OFFER:
We are thrilled to have you join us and explore the fantastic opportunities that this new space has to offer. The space includes two floors.

1) The Zone is located on the lower level and offers the following:

a nursery for parents and their children (If you have a little one [infant to pre-schooler], please feel free to visit the Nursery space. Our awesome Nursery team has a volunteer present to welcome you and your little one, answer questions, play with your kids and to connect with.)
a 2-Pre K room (drop off)
JK/SK room (drop off)

2) The Theatre on the upper floor offers the following:

Grades 1-3 (drop off)
Grades 4-5 (drop off)

CHECK IN/CHECK OUT PROCESS:
Our check in and check out process is very similar to the one we had at The Olive Branch. However, with Kidzone being on two different floors, there are a few exceptions and minor differences.

Check In:

There are check-in stations all throughout the lower and upper level. (You can check-in your child(ren) at any level)
Parents, you can self check-in your child(ren) using your barcode or phone number at either levels.
Upon completing check-in, you will receive a ticket and a sticker with your child(ren)’s name and room location.
Please keep the ticket with you, as you will need this for check-out and place the sticker on your child
A volunteer will be present at the entrance of each classroom to ensure the child(ren) is in the right place. If the child is on the wrong floor or classroom, they will be re-directed.
We will also have hosts available to answer any questions and to help troubleshoot.

Check Out:

Check-out will be conducted by our hosts
For families that have children on two different floors, for security reasons you must check-out your child on their DESIGNATED floor. (We recommend picking up your older children from upstairs (Grade 1-5) prior to picking up your younger children from downstairs)
After arriving at the correct floor, a host will scan your barcode, and you can proceed as directed by the stanchions to reach your child’s classroom for pick-up.
When you reach your child’s classroom, a teacher will match your ticket with your child’s sticker.
Once the match is confirmed, you and your child can proceed through the line towards the exit.

If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected].
