Unsupervised Children

The following policies are made to ensure the safety of all JCA members:

 •  Children 9 years old and under must be supervised by an adult while at the JCA. Children must be brought to and picked up from class, babysitting or childcare by an adult or escorted by an older sibling (age 10+) with written parental permission.

 •  Children who are 10 years old are issued membership cards. All members ages 10 and over entering the JCA must present a membership card.

 •  Children ages 10 and up may be unaccompanied by an adult in the JCA except for  the fitness area where children must be 13 years old to enter. They are asked to  “hang out” in the game room area of the P.E. department, where they may take  advantage of the many activities the JCA has to offer. The lobby area, hallways, other rooms and the courtyard in the JCA are not appropriate spaces.

It should be understood that the JCA cannot be held responsible for its members age 10 and over attending the JCA and not enrolled in an organized activity. In addition, children ages 10 and up are expected to behave in a mature manner when in the building without parental supervision. Behavior that is disruptive and/or harmful to themselves or others may result in the suspension of independent privileges.
