When registering your child or youth in the UUC Lifespan Faith Development (LFD) program, you are joining a partnership. As a parent, you agree to work cooperatively with LFD: to encourage our children and youth in development of their own UU identity; to encourage their spiritual growth; to provide religious literacy; and to encourage a social conscience.

In support of these goals, UUC & LFD policies state that:

• For classes and meetings held in person, the registered parent/guardian must be present on church grounds with the child, except during youth group meetings, or events specifically designated as parent-free.
• For classes and meetings held online, the registered parent/guardian is expected to monitor all online LFD programming that their child participates in, except during youth group meetings, or events specifically designated as parent-free.
• Parents/guardians are responsible for the supervision of their children both inside and outside the UUC building, with the exception of classroom or youth group meeting time, or parent-free events.
• If an adult hosts a visiting child, they assume full responsibility for this child.
• Parents must meet their children immediately following RE classes, or end times for youth group meetings.
• For the safety of all children, rough play is not permitted at UUC.
• For the safety of our very young and very old attendees, no running is allowed indoors.
• Parents/guardians and children are expected to read and follow the playground rules.
• Bullying, threatening, intimidation, harassment, or any other activity characterized by targeted, hurtful behavior (verbal or nonverbal) that results in any physical, social/relational or emotional/psychological harm to another person is not tolerated in any form at UUC.

Parents are expected to be familiar with and enforce LFD policies, to abide by them and to discuss them with their child. Parents are expected to assume responsibility for their child’s behavior and to teach compliance with church rules.

Violation of UUC/LFD rules may result in removal from LFD programming. The full list of LFD Policies is located online at uucnrv.org in the Members area, Document Library.
