KidCoction Room Rules
For Parents attending events with their children:

You are completely and utterly responsible for yourself, your children and your personal belongings.

When leaving a child in the Kid’s-Room:
  • Parents
    • You will be required to sign your child in whether you stay or not.
      • Photo Release opt-in/out form must be signed before entering the room. If you choose to opt-out of photos you will be given a colored wristband.
      • Room waiver must be signed for ALL children being dropped off. Parents are always welcome and we encourage them to attend events along with their children.
      • Room waiver and photo release form only need to be filled out once and will be good for all events for the duration of the convention.
    • You must have a working cell phone on your person, we will test it at drop off.
    • If your child becomes ill, overly emotional or physically or verbally abusive, you will be called and you must come and collect them. If your child becomes abusive and you are asked to come collect them, they will not be allowed back in the Kid’s-Room at all for the duration of the convention. Bullying of any form will NOT be tolerated.
    • If your child is currently sick or has been sick in the last 24-48 hours, they will not be allowed in the Kid’s-Room. Sick = a high temperature, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, any contagious disease/ailment: lice, pink eye, etc...
    • Parents are responsible for making sure their children know the rules for the Kid’s-Room.
    • If your child is signed up for several events in a row, you are still required to come back at the end of EACH event and collect your child/ren. This is so that staff can quickly and efficiently break down the room and set up for the next event and also run to the restroom and grab water. We greatly appreciate your cooperation with this. Any unclaimed children at the conclusion of each event will be fed to Cthulhu. Hail Cthulhu! But, seriously, any parent that is contacted on three occasions due to not claiming their child by the beginning of the next event will NOT be permitted to drop their children off for the duration of the convention. You are still very welcome to attend events in the Kid’s-Room, but you must stay with your child at all times.
    • The Kid’s-Room staff are not guaranteed to be CPR certified. They are simply adult volunteers and will not be held liable for any accident that may occur. This is NOT a daycare. Staff members will also not be responsible for any lost or damaged personal items.
 
  • For ALL children under the age of 12:
    • They MUST be completely & independently potty trained. We do NOT change diapers or help with costume changes. We will however, escort them to the bathroom and back again to the Kid’s-Room. Children not yet potty trained must have a parent with them at all times.
    • They will NOT have roaming rights. Once you drop them off, they are here until you pick them up at the end of EACH scheduled event.  
 
  • For ALL children ages 12 and over:
    • The same rules apply for the older children as they do for the “Under the Age of 12” children. EXCEPT you may opt for your child to have roaming rights.
    • Children with roaming rights MAY:
      • freely come and go during a program that they are signed up for.
      • sign themselves out of a kids event to go to another event in the convention, BUT, they must indicate on the pick-up sheet AND speak with a staff member to let them know where they are going.
    • Children with roaming rights MAY NOT:
      • Sign themselves INTO a program even if their parents have signed them up for that event.
