Children’s Depot Policies

All of our employees love taking care of little ones of all ages! They have:

• Passed a background check
• Are CPR certified – Adult & Infant
• First Aid Trained

We go above and beyond to make sure your children are safe and having fun!

The Depot is a member only gym childcare facility. While you work out, go swimming, or even work in our community lobby, you can drop off your kiddos with us! Parents/ guardians must be reachable by phone or notify staff at check-in where in the facility you will be.

• Reservations are required. We ask that you make a reservation a day before or at least 2 hours before time of arrival.
• We cannot guarantee last minute reservations or drop-ins. Call us and reserve a time with a staff member or leave a voicemail.
• If you cannot make your reservation, please call and let us know.
• We care for children aged 3 months – 9 years old
• You can reserve for up to 2 hours at a time.

• Registration forms must be completed and verified with proof of vaccines before first visit.
• Staff will schedule a 30 minute meet and greet with you and your child if they are under the age of 2 years old.

• Please pack a bag with everything your child may need during their visit – diapers, change of clothes, water bottle, snack, etc!
• We have a 10-20 minute cry time in place for your child. If your child is still upset after this timeframe, we will call you.

Caregivers need to set limits so that your child and other children can learn respect for things and others in their environment while at the Children’s Depot. Giving children choices and redirection are tools most often used. We reserve the right to refuse to admit repeatedly disruptive children.

For the protection of our children and staff, please do not ask us to care for your child if he/she is ill. Our staff reserves the right to refuse to admit any child that is ill. An ill child is defined as follows:

• Has or has had a fever within the last 24 hours
• Has had diarrhea or nausea within the last 24 hours
• Discharge from the eyes, or a profuse nasal discharge
• A contagious disease (rashes or any sort of bacterial infection)

We require proof of immunizations. Our standards are based on guidelines set by the State of Montana, however we do not allow exemptions for medical or religious reasons. Children with a certified Conditional Attendance Form are accepted. Email immunizations to sara@whitefishwave.com, print them to bring to us, or fax to 406-862-1844.

In the event that your child should need immediate medical assistance, 911 will be called.
