Transportation Agreement

Due to our program growing in both the number of children in the program and the number that need transportation, this transportation agreement must be put into place in order for the program to continue to run smoothly and effectively. Thank you for your cooperation, so we can get everyone to the program on time. Below mainly
applies to those who will be getting a ride to and from the program via our van, but number 8 applies to all kids in the program:
1. Your contact information will be given to our van driver in case there is an issue at pick up or drop off.
 
2. Please have children ready to go and looking for the van at least 15 minutes
before the scheduled pick-up time.

 
3. We will wait only 3 minutes at each location for the child before moving on to the next spot.

 
4. It takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour for all the kids to be dropped off. Your child will be dropped off in reverse order of how they were picked up. Please let us know if your child needs to be home by a certain time.

5. If a child cannot be home alone, someone needs to be home upon their arrival
consistently. If there isn’t someone home on time consistently then we will not be
able to bring that child home and another ride needs to be arranged.

 
6. Please let us know if your child will not be riding in the van like normal or has any
changes in location of pick up/drop off. Also, please let me know if your child has
friends that would also like to come along because we will need their parents’
permission to attend.

 
7. Sometimes we will be doing field trips where all the kids are transported to
another location. Signing this, is you giving your permission for us to transport them.

 
8. All children must follow the same rules and expectations in the van as at the program (kindness, respect, and positive attitude *see below). Children can get warnings in the van as well as may have to be given an assigned seat depending on the situation. If the behavior is severe enough, dangerous, or violent, your child may be suspended from the program and/or unable to ride in the van any further.

 
9. If these above guidelines are not followed or are violated multiple times, that may result in us not being able to pick up/drop off your child for a period of time, or indefinitely, depending on the situation because this could prevent us from getting all the kids to the program on time.

 
I understand these transportation guidelines and agree to follow them.

Other Miscellaneous Agreements

Please do not bring or allow your child to come to AYC if they are sick (fever, coughing, runny nose) because we want to minimize the spread of illness.

Also, if your child requires special care or supervision because of behavioral struggles or other reasons, we may not be able to accommodate them in the program due to limited staffing. We will try to do the best that we can but may have to say “no” if we don’t have the staff to support your child.

Rules and Expectations

1. Show Kindness 
- Being polite by saying “please, thank you”
- Offering to help others
- Taking turns, sharing

2. Show Respect
- By listening and not talking when others are talking
- When a leader asks you to do something, do it
- Ask permission before leaving an area
- Take care of property, clean up your trash
- No bullying/name calling, fighting, yelling or cussing

3. Positive Attitude
- Try new activities, believe that you can do it!
- Ask to talk to a leader if you have a question or are having a hard day
- No complaining or whining
- Have FUN!
 Disciplinary Process
1. Verbal warning; reminder of rules.
2. Verbal warning, talk about how the child can change their behavior.
3. Call parents and correct behavior.
4. Call parents and take home.

If a child is taken home 3 times because of behavior then they will not be able to return to the program. We desire for children to want to be here, which is shown by them choosing to follow directions and to have fun.

NOTE: We will work with children who are choosing unacceptable behavior, helping to guide them to choose the appropriate behavior. Leaders do have the right, however, to skip steps in the disciplinary process if they decide it is necessary. For example, blatant disrespect and refusal to do what is asked and running away from leaders will result in immediately being sent home.


I have read and understand these rules and expectations and have gone over these rules and expectations with my child/children, and they understand and agree to follow them.
