I, the undersigned, acknowledge and understand the following stipulations:
Nature of the Business Environment
I acknowledge that The Village - Parenthood Happiness Center provides a space where children and their parents can engage in activities that may include, but are not limited to, playtime, group activities, interactive sessions, and workshops. Additionally, The Village offers on-site childcare services while parents utilize The Work Lounge for coworking purposes.
Obligation for Parental Responsibility
I understand that while childcare attendants are present to supervise and engage my child, I remain responsible for specific caregiving duties, including but not limited to:
- Diapering and toileting my child.
- Ensuring my child is adequately fed, as childcare attendants will not feed snacks or food to my child, other than providing water if requested.
Furthermore, I acknowledge that I am required to stay on-site at all times while utilizing the childcare services, and I must be readily available to attend to my child's needs when required.
Assumption of Risks
I acknowledge that participation in the activities at The Village inherently involves certain risks, including but not limited to physical injury, emotional distress, or damage to personal property. I willingly assume all risks, both known and unknown, for my child and myself while participating in these activities.
Feeding and Sleeping Practices
I acknowledge that as a parent or guardian, I am solely responsible for the feeding and sleeping arrangements of my child. Childcare attendants will not feed my child food or snacks, and I agree to ensure my child’s needs are met before or during my time at The Village. I release The Village from any responsibility for feeding or monitoring my child's food consumption. In case my child needs to nap, I acknowledge that The Village is not responsible for providing a designated sleep space or monitoring sleep activities.
Childcare Services and Limitations
I acknowledge that The Village provides childcare services with the purpose of supervising and engaging children in activities, but this service does not extend to:
- Diaper changes or assistance with toileting.
- Feeding children any snacks or meals (other than providing water). I understand that these limitations are in place to ensure safety, and I must be available to assist with my child’s needs while remaining on-site.
Release of Liability and Indemnification
I hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless The Village, its owners, directors, employees, volunteers, agents, and representatives from any claims, liabilities, injuries, damages, losses, lawsuits, judgments, and expenses that may arise from my child's or my own participation in activities or presence at The Village, including while my child is under the supervision of The Village’s childcare attendants. I agree to indemnify and defend The Village from any claims, including attorney's fees, made by third parties arising out of my child's or my own actions.
Medical Emergency Consent
Should an emergency medical situation arise, I authorize The Village to obtain medical care for my child or me. I agree to assume financial responsibility for all expenses of such care.
Safety and Compliance
I agree to adhere to all safety guidelines, rules, and instructions provided by The Village while on the premises. I understand that failure to do so may result in removal from the premises without a refund.
