1. Arrival: We offer quality early learning experiences for you child while you conduct court business. Please feel welcome to spend
up to 10 minutes to help your child feel comfortable in The Children’s Waiting Room. We ask that you leave after 10 minutes so
that we can start our busy day. When you and your child arrive you will be asked to:

Check in with a teacher so she can help your child when you depart
If an emergency evacuation is required while your child is in care they will not be released to the adult until the building is
cleared and children return to the Children’s Waiting Room. All Adults must follow the public evacuation process as designated
by the courthouse.
2. Participation: Please be aware that by participating in this program you must remain in the building while your child is in the
Children’s Waiting Room.

teacher to be sure they are safe. We close during the lunch hour from 12:00 pm to 1:15 pm. Lunch is not provided, so please plan to
pick up your child before 11:45 am. The Children’s Waiting room closes at 4:30 pm; all children should be picked up by 4:15pm.
We will make every effort to accommodate for late pickup if there is extenuating circumstances. We ask that you contact the child
