Participation Agreement

We value your business and are glad to know you are interested in our programming. We ask that you read through this participant agreement so that you know what you can expect when it comes to the parenting, caregiving, and relationship based culture of our Play Hub and spaces at The Emerging Parent.

I agree to let my child explore the Play Hub in their own way and move close for support when they are engaged in climbing or if I am concerned for their or another child’s safety. All play is welcome (yes- your child can climb up the slide).

I agree to stay in the same room as my child unless I have asked for support while taking a bathroom break or I need support to calm myself down. All parents must remain in the building.

I agree to put relationships first by acting with empathy when interacting with others in this space.

I agree to ask staff for help if I or my child have concerns or struggles when in the space. 

I agree to actively support the inclusive environment here at The Emerging Parent by staying curious and learning about differences and disabilities. You will encounter children and parents in this space who play, act, look, differ in ability, are neurodivergent, or may engage differently than you and/or your child. Be kind and open to the diversity of interactions here.

I agree to refrain from bringing gluten/wheat, peanut, and tree nut based foods into The Emerging Parent during normal business hours. There are chairs and a table located just outside our space on the second floor of our building where outside snacks and meal breaks can occur when needed. Private Events may bring in outside snacks to the parent lounge space only. All snacks provided at The Emerging Parent are allergy friendly.

I agree to wash my hands and my children’s hands before entering the Play Hub.

Being a safe space for families managing food allergies, Celiac disease, and lowered immune systems is important to us and we can’t do it without your help.
