The safety of the children you entrust with us is our highest priority. We have a rigorous set of safety policies and procedures which provides multiple checks for potentials issues and threats. Here are just a few of the highlights. 

• Before we hire, we do mandatory background checks on employees and volunteers and then we recheck them every year. 

• Our employees and volunteers must complete mandatory training on child abuse prevention and reporting requirements. 

• If there is an incident, our staff are required to report it, regardless of severity and if appropriate, we report the incident to the local authorities. 

• Every year, our entire organization – including each Club – undergoes a safety assessment. 

​

We believe in safety first, multiple layers of attention to any potential issue and complete transparency.

If an unexpected Club closure occurs (due to weather, facilities emergency, etc.), Clubs will post signs on the building doors, update the Club’s Facebook page, and update the Club voicemail. Clubs will notify parents/guardians via an automated email and text notification system. Please be sure that you notify Club staff of any change in emergency contact or cell phone information to ensure that you receive emergency notifications.
