Sign-in/Sign-Out Procedures: Your child’s safety is of the utmost importance to us! We request that parents, guardians and authorized pick-up persons to please come into the facility to sign their child in/out with an instructor everyday. To ensure a secure check-out process, we ask that authorized pick-up persons show this image of our mascot Kelvin or photo ID.
