We are pleased to provide a safe and interactive environment for our youngest Kroc Center Guests. Child Care for children ages 4 months to 9 years is available.  Child/Youth Watch is staffed with well-qualified employees and volunteers who are properly trained in first aid, CPR/AED, and child safety.  Our Child/Youth Watch Employees strive to keep children engaged, safe, and excited to come back for another Child Watch experience.

Child Watch General Guidelines

Children staying in Short Term Care must have a membership or a day pass and must be checked in by the appropriate parent or legal guardian.  Length of stay is up to 2 hours, once a day.  The parent or legal guardian must remain in the facility. Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis.  Any visit exceeding the 2 hour limit or that extends past the child watch hours will be charged a late fee of $5 for every 10 minutes.

Parents are expected to diaper their own children, and are paged to Child Watch as needed. Parents are expected to feed children before coming to Child/Youth Watch.  Drinks are allowed in labeled spill-proof containers. We are a snack-free zone due to allergy concerns.

Children who appear sick will not be allowed into Short Term Care, and will be removed immediately if symptoms appear. Symptoms may include: sore throat, fever, diarrhea, excessive coughing, runny nose, rashes, pink/glassy eyes, vomiting etc.  The child must come in with a doctors note authorizing usage if the condition is non-contagious.  This policy is strictly enforced to protect the health and safety of all children and staff members.
