Behavior Policy

Children’s Behavior Policy

MOMS Club activities are meant to be enjoyable and safe events for both parents and children. The MOMS Club respects parenting differences but expects that all children behave appropriately at MOMS Club activities.

Unacceptable behaviors include but are not limited to:

  • Biting
  • Destroying property
  • Hair pulling
  • Hitting
  • Hitting with objects
  • Inappropriate touch
  • Kicking
  • Overly aggressive behavior
  • Over-the-top tantrums
  • Scratching
  • Slapping
  • Spitting

In the unfortunate event that these behaviors occur during MOMS Club activities, then the child’s mother should temporarily remove the child until the behavior has been corrected. After the time if the parent choses to remain at the activity, she will be expected to be especially diligent in watching over her child for the remainder of the activity. If the child choses to act out again, they will be asked to leave the activity.

Please remember that you are responsible for your child(ren) at all MOMS Club functions. Do not discipline another mom’s child(ren) without their permission. In the event that your child is in conflict with another child, please separate them and take the other child to his/her mother.
