Child Care is available for all children between the ages of one month to six years. Children over six years will not be accepted in the Child Care area.

If you are an LRAC member, you are encouraged to use child care for your children. We have a comfortable and bright play area, cribs for napping, and a convenient bathroom inside the child care area. Even though we provide safe and enjoyable toys and activities, your child may bring his/her own favorite toys. Toys from home must be deemed safe by the child care staff and be clearly labeled with the child’s name in order to be brought into the child care area. We are not responsible for loss or damage to any items brought from home.

Food Policy

Snacks are acceptable but full meals will not be served. All drinks brought into the child care area must be in labeled containers with lids. Please make sure your child is adequately fed prior to bringing him/her to child care. Chewing gum is not allowed in the Child care area.

Diaper Changes

Please supply your own diapers in a name-labeled bag. You may also wish to bring a change of clothes for your child.

Emergency Care

In the event of an emergency, every effort will be made to locate you in the club. However, to make this process more efficient, please remember to specify on the sign-in/sign-out sheet where you will be in the club. In the case of a fire all children will be evacuated through the safest exit.

Sick Child Policy

In order to maintain a clean and healthy environment for all children we ask that you refrain from bringing your child to child care if he/she is sick and/or displaying signs of illness which may include:
- A cold
- Fever of 100 degrees or more within the past 24 hours
- Constant cough
- First 24 hours on an antibiotic
- Diarrhea (when not on antibiotics)
- Displaying abnormal disposition
- Rashes
- Chicken Pox (Child cannot return until 14 days after break out)

For Your Child's Protection

Children will only be released to parents or a designated guardian as specified on the Information sheet or sign-in sheet. Children must be directly supervised by a parent, or checked in to either the Down Under Center (DUC), or the Child Care area while at the LRAC.

Upon entering the child care, please check in your child by filling out the sign-in sheet. If a person other than yourself is picking up your child it must be indicated on the sheet. When you or another authorized person pick up your child please sign out on the sheet.

Junior Policies (ages 5 to 14 years)

Children are people with special needs and interests, and we at the LRAC want to provide an atmosphere of understanding, respect, and acceptance for your children while at the club. For this goal to be achieved, we need the cooperation of all parents in adhering to the following policies.

Supervisory Care

Juniors in this age group are required to be under the direct supervision of a parent or legal guardian (18 years or older), or checked-in to either the Down Under Center, or the Child Care area while at the LRAC.
