• Parents converse in English amongst themselves.
• If your child is sick, please do not attend playgroup. Keep your child at home if he/she has had a fever within 24 hours of the meeting time.
• It goes without saying, that if a little one is having a rough moment (hitting, pushing, biting, etc.), kindly remove your child from the main play area for a few minutes.
• Each parent is responsible for the well-being and safety of her own children, no matter who is hosting the group or where the group is meeting.
Cosmo Polite reserves the right to remove any member who we feel are disruptive to the group. back to top
