Other important details:

• Lunch is not provided, so please pack a lunch for your child.

• Please send a plastic water bottle with your child's name on it for water on set so that we can be respectful of the environment. The kids are active and it may be hot, so we want to keep them hydrated.

• Please come in to sign your child in and out when you drop by and pick them up.

• If your child has medication or Epi-Pens (2 required) please bring them to the Administration office.
