Drop-off Service for children 18 months and up
Important information for parents and guardians:
DROP-OFF
Upon your arrival, you will be asked to show a valid form of picture identification to be matched with
the driver’s license number on your registration form. You and your child will also be stamped upon
entering. Your child will be required to wear a wrist band during their visit to Hopscotch's
Playplace. This will assist our staff in monitoring your child. This band can easily be cut off after
leaving our facility. All patrons are required to have a current waiver signed and documented in our
records before leaving.
You will also be required to pay for your first hour before leaving. Please see our list of fees for
further information.
For added security, we ask that parents do not open the door leading to the play area. ALL adults
must check in before being allowed in the play area.
MINIMUM / MAXIMUM TIME
Rates are by the hour. At minimum, all parties should expect to pay our one hour rate. Even if a
child is only left in our care for 30 minutes, the parent will be required to pay for one full hour. The
maximum time a child may be left at Hopscotch's Playplace is 3 hours.
EMERGENCY CONTACT
We require a mobile phone or mobile contact number anytime you leave your child at our facility.
Hopscotch’s Playplace Drop Off service is not to be considered daycare, but a convenience to
shoppers patronizing local establishments in the general vicinity of Hopscotch’s Playplace. For this
reason, we require, you the parent or legal guardian, to respond to any attempts at contact by
Hopscotch’s Playplace and if necessary return to Hopscotch’s within a 20-minute window from the
time contact is made.
ILLNESS
To reduce the risk of contagious diseases, we cannot provide care for sick children. If your child has
a fever of 99.5 degrees or greater, we cannot accept your child. In addition, your child will not be
admitted if he or she is vomiting, has diarrhea, or if your child has a contagious disease (such as
pink eye) other than a mild cold. If your child exhibits what our staff perceives to be more than a
mild cold, you will be contacted immediately. To avoid being interrupted with a phone call to pick up
your child, please be mindful of these policies.
BEHAVIOR
At Hopscotch’s Playplace, strive to promote a positive play experience for all children. As a result,
we must continue to adhere to our general play rules and policies. We promote and praise positive
choices and play. We do realize that children are still learning positive social behavior and may not
always demonstrate positive behavior. Hopscotch's Playplace does utilize verbal redirection and if
necessary, a time out procedure. If a child is placed in time out, he or she will be instructed to sit in
a designated area away from the source of conflict. Each time out period shall not exceed the age
of the child. For example, if the child is 3 years old, each time out period shall not exceed 3
minutes. Each episode resulting in time out will be documented. If a child exhibits severe
inappropriate behavior, we will contact the parent and ask that the child be picked up. No form of
physical punishment will ever be used by our staff (even if requested by a guardian). Additionally,
we reserve the right to refuse future care of any child who is unable or refuses to respect
Hopscotch's Playplace staff and/or other patrons.
INCIDENT REPORTS
Should an incident occur during your child’s stay you will receive a written “incident report.” The staff
member on duty will sign the report, will ask you to review it with them, and then will ask you to sign
it. If you have any questions at the time of the incident, please do not hesitate to ask for clarification.
FOOD/SNACKS
We do not serve food of any kind at Hopscotch’s Playplace. Please be sure to provide adequate
snacks, drinks, or meals to be used during your child’s visit with us. We will only provide your child
with food items provided by the guardian. Please advise us of any food allergies your child may
have. We do sell sodas, juices, and crackers and offer a debit type service for your children while
they are at Hopscotch’s. See your Hopscotch’s Playplace attendant for details.
MEDICATIONS and CHILDREN WHO ARE MEDICALLY DEPENDENT
We do not administer medicine of any kind at Hopscotch’s Playplace. At this time we are we are
unable to accept medically dependent or behaviorally challenged children, as our staff is not
properly trained in this type of care.

visit. We ask that all belongings are labeled with your child’s first name first letter of their last name.

we ask that if your child is currently potty training, please send them in a pull-up or other type of
diaper to prevent toileting accidents. Children requiring diaper changing requires an additional fee.
PICK-UP
Any child left in our care is limited to a 3 hour stay per visit. Your assistance in following this rule will
be appreciated. Failure to pick up your child before the close of business will result in a minute-by-
minute fee from the time our business closed until the time the child is picked up. Consequently, this
fee will be in addition to the fees already accrued. Whomever picks up your child should be
prepared to pay the total amount of all fees.
If you fail to pick up your child by the close of business, we will immediately refer your emergency
contact list and request that someone come to pick up your child. Any person picking up your child
will be required to show a valid picture identification before your child can be released to them. In
the event that no one is available on your contact list, we will contact the Department of Health and
Human Services and transfer your child into their care.
