Toddler Time community agreements

Toddler Time is a family program, and caregiver supervision is required at all times.

People that are visibly sick may be asked to wear a mask or not participate. Thanks for helping us keep our community safe!

This is a community space that is meant for everyone. Families of all backgrounds are welcome!

Since this is a shared space, we ask that you and your little ones are aware of the other people around you and share all toys and materials.
