PARENT STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
PARENT STATEMENT OF UNDERSTANDING
The following information is important for the safety and protection of your child. Please read the information, sign this form and return it to the YMCA.
Please keep and refer to your copy of the Crossroads YMCA childcare polices. Your signature below indicates that you have received them.
I understand that the Y staff and volunteers are not allowed to babysit or transport children at any time outside of the Y program. Immediate disciplinary action will be taken by the YMCA toward staff if a violation is discovered.
I understand that I am not to leave my child in any Y program unless a Y staff is there to supervise my child.
I understand that my child will not be allowed to leave the program with any unauthorized person. Any person authorized to pick-up my child must either be listed with the Y or other arrangements must be made by calling the Y office to inform them of a change.
I understand that should a parent or any unauthorized person arrive to pick up my child who appears to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol my child will not be released into their care.
I understand that the Y is mandated, by state law, to report any suspected cases of child abuse or neglect to the appropriate authorities for investigation.
I understand that any belongings brought to the Y by my child are the responsibility of my child only. The Y and its staff will not replace or take responsibility for any lost or broken items.
I release The Crossroads YMCA from any liability, whatsoever, that may result from injuries and subsequent medical attention and will look to The Crossroads YMCA only in the unlikely event of gross negligence and/or willful and want on misconduct.
I hereby grant permission for the staff of the YMCA to take whatever steps necessary to obtain medical care for my child if warranted. These steps include the following: (1) To administer First Aid; (2) To contact parent/guardian or person listed on emergency contact. If necessary, an ambulance will be called to transport the child to an emergency medical center. I understand that I will be held responsible for all medical/ambulance charges.
We do our best to serve every family; however, if a child causes our staff to frequently deviate from our ratio, you may have to send your child with a caregiver. We are unable to accommodate any child that may require one-on-one supervision.
I have read and understand this copy of the Crossroads YMCA childcare policies/procedures and Parent Statement of Understanding.
