Space and Setup Requirements​

To maintain a secure and enjoyable environment, we recommend a dedicated childcare area—a private room or enclosed space separate from main event activities. For comfort and safety, please allow approximately 30 square feet per child. The space should be well-ventilated, hazard-free, and ideally provide easy access to restrooms. Tables and chairs are provided by the event host, as they’re essential for crafts, meals, and other activities. Clients are also responsible for arranging a snack and beverage station if food service is desired, with a designated area recommended to keep things organized and tidy.

Health and Safety Standards

We prioritize the health and safety of every child in our care. Our team is fully certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED, ensuring top-tier safety and preparedness. It is a requirement that the host ensures the childcare area has clear and unobstructed access to emergency exits, prioritizing the safety of every child. For added security, we recommend setting up a check-in/check-out area outside the childcare space to give parents peace of mind and a convenient point of contact with our caregivers.

Activities and Engagement

Our childcare environment is designed to keep children entertained and engaged. We set up multiple activity zones—from crafts and games to reading stations—based on the available space. For younger children, especially during longer events, we provide a quiet area with mats or pillows for rest and relaxation. Our activities can even be customized to match your event’s theme, creating a truly memorable experience that aligns with the overall event ambiance.

Seamless Communication and Registration

Our stress-free online registration process gathers essential emergency contact information ahead of time, ensuring a smooth and organized day-of experience. Parents complete registration through our secure online portal, so we have all necessary information readily accessible on the day of the event.

Additional Considerations

Our team arrives one hour prior to the event to handle setup and requires about 30 minutes post-event for teardown. If needed, we can also coordinate directly with the venue to confirm that tables, chairs, and other necessary arrangements are in place, ensuring a seamless transition on event day.
