CHILDREN'S PLAYROOM GUIDELINES <br />The goal of the children's playroom is to provide a physically and emotionally safe play <br />environment that recognizes the developmental, emotional and social needs of children and to <br />provide supervision and play activities for children whose parents are receiving SAFJC services. <br />The playroom should be set up and maintained with materials that are age -appropriate for the <br />children present. 'The playroom should not have any toys/objects that are small enough to be <br />choked on or swallowed. Toys should all be cleaned and disinfected on a regular basis. Volunteers <br />should make sure the playroom is clean and all toys are put away at the end of their shift. ' Pl <br />Volunteers are encouraged to engage children in play and craft activities during their time in the <br />playroom. Attention should be given to determining and monitoring the special needs of each <br />child. T' <br />Children should never be left alone in the playroom. If a child needs assistance using the restroom, <br />the volunteer is instructed to get another volunteer or a staff member to supervise the playroom <br />while he/she is absent. sEa <br />When children leave the playroom, they should take their personal belongings with them. Fs161 <br />Every effort should be made to ensure the playroom is a healthy environment. If the volunteer <br />determines a child is sick, the volunteer is instructed to locate the child's parent and request the <br />parent take the child out of the playroom. sErj <br />The playroom should promote safe interactions between children. If a child endangers the safety <br />of another child in the playroom, volunteers are instructed to locate the child's parent and request <br />the parent/guardian take the child out of the playroom. r-ci <br />TO <br />
