Kids Corner

The first 10 reservations for Kid's Zone are guaranteed a spot, walk-ins are accepted based on availability.

On Friday or Saturday nights only, we will not enforce the maximum 2-hour limit if you have a reservation.

We always schedule 1 Counselor for Kid’s Club Monday - Friday (except on Friday nights when we have 2 Counselors).

The ratio of staff to children will be as follows:

• 6 months through 1 year of age, there must be 1 Staff Member per 4 children
• 1 year but under 2 years of age, there must be 1 Staff Member per 6 children
• 2 years but under 3 years of age, there must be 1 Staff Member per 10 children

In groups of mixed age ranges. Where children under 1 year of age are included, one Staff Member shall be responsible for no more than four (4) children of any age group at all times.

The staff will not accept any children once the maximum ratio has been met according to the number of children and staff. Priority will be given to Members with reservations.

1. The child/staff ratio is 10 children per 1 staff member (2 and older).
2. Children may spend a maximum of two (2) hours in the Kid's Zone, per day (Does not apply on Friday & Saturday nights).
3. For your child’s safety, parents are required to sign their children in and out of the Kid's Zone. Parents must inform Kid's Zone staff if an adult other than the one who brought the child/children in will be picking them up. Proof of identification must be provided upon request.
4. Parents must remain on the Club premises while their children are in the Kid's Zone.  If parents are leaving the Fitness & Aquatic Center building to play golf or dine at Elements, children must be toilet trained. No more than 9 holes of golf may be played while the child is at Kid's Zone. Failure to comply with this guideline will result in a loss of Kid's Zone privileges for a period of time determined by the Club Manager. A cell phone number is required if the adult member is playing golf. To ensure the safety of the child we request that the same person drop off and pick up the child within the visit unless otherwise noted with the childcare attendant.
5. Food is not allowed in the Kid's Zone. Small snacks are acceptable if it is appropriate to eat in front of the other children (Playroom Staff will determine). All drinks must be contained in a spill-proof container. Please make sure your children are not attending the Kid's Zone during expected meal times.
6. For your child’s convenience, the Kid's Zone offers a variety of children’s toys. Please make sure all items brought from home are of a non-violent nature and are clearly marked with the child’s name.
7. The Kid's Zone staff is not responsible for any lost or damaged items.
8. It is the parent’s responsibility to inform the Kid's Zone staff of any pertinent medical information prior to checking in. The Kid's Zone staff reserves the right to refuse service to any children they feel would require undivided or special attention and, as a result, affect the quality of supervision the other children receive. Any member of the Kid's Zone staff will not dispense medication at any time.
9. Shoes are required and must be worn by all children.
