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.
Toddler Time staff is happy to provide more information or answer any questions about our community agreements. Have fun!
We thank PNC for their generous support of Toddler Time!
