Classroom Rules

1. OberlinKids Participating Families

Contact Jenn to verify membership or ask questions.

If you have completed your child's On Track Check-In within the past 12 months, you are considered a Partner Family. All children in the household, from birth to kindergarten, are strongly encouraged to become members by completing the On Track Check-In each year. We have made the community classroom a "members-only" benefit to foster a community of families with children, build friendships, and create a village of support while ensuring a clean, comfortable environment for all. If you would like to bring friends or family, please ensure they are with your family while using the classroom. Encourage them to become OberlinKids Families too!

2. Children Must Be Supervised at All Times

Adult caregivers must remain with their children at all times.

Children may never be allowed to leave the room or be left in the classroom without a responsible adult.

3. Sign In & Out

The OEAC Building: at a podium by the front and side entrances

The Community Classroom: Please use the QR Code located by the classroom door.

Signing in and out is important for data tracking and grant reporting since the classroom is grant-funded. We also look at the days and times when families tend to use the classroom, so we can plan special programming to meet the community's needs.

4. No Food or Drink

Please do not eat or drink in the classroom. Help us keep the room clean, safe for those with allergies, and free of insects.

5. Let Us Know

Let Jenn know if anything is broken or damaged, or if supplies are running low.

6. Help Keep Our Classroom Healthy

Prevent the spread of illness whenever possible. Please do not come to the classroom when you or your child is sick. Help us prevent the spread of illness by staying home when you are under the weather and by washing your hands and using hand sanitizer often.* These are the same practices and policies at early learning centers, daycares, and schools. Practicing them in the Community Classroom is a learning opportunity.

*Due to a lack of running water in the Community Classroom, we offer hand sanitizer at the classroom door and ask all to use it upon entering. Sinks are available in the restrooms in the main hallway if needed.

Any visibly dirty or contaminated toys may be cleaned by adults using the products on the shelf above the classroom sink, or should be placed in the sink for staff to clean before returning them to the shelves.

Please take any diapers with you. Trash cans are not emptied daily.
