Playground Policies

Welcome to DREAMLAND! We’re thrilled to have you and your little ones enjoy our indoor playground. To ensure a safe, fun, and smooth experience for everyone, please review the following guidelines and information about our services, health and safety policies, and facility rules.

Play Time

Our playground is designed for children ages 0-10 years. Children under the age of 3 are welcome, but must be under one-on-one supervision of their parents, guardians, or caregiver at all times. To ensure fairness for all our guests, play time is offered in 1-hour or 2-hour sessions. The maximum playtime is limited to 2 hours; unfortunately, extended playtime is not available. 

Behavioral Guidelines

At DREAMLAND, we prioritize a safe and respectful environment for everyone. We encourage children to play thoughtfully and use the equipment as intended. We do not allow any rough play or reckless behavior. Our staff is trained to guide children with positive strategies that help them develop self-regulation, so they can learn how to interact appropriately with others and their surroundings.

The following behaviors are strictly prohibited:

• Hitting, spanking, or any form of corporal punishment
• Restraining a child unless they pose harm to themselves or others
• Bullying behaviors such as name-calling, teasing, or exclusion
• Any form of aggressive or harmful behavior toward other children or staff

Strike Policy

We have a 3-strike policy for children exhibiting aggressive, disrespectful, or harmful behavior toward others. If a child receives a strike, their account will be suspended. Parents will be notified immediately if any such incidents occur.

Health & Safety

DREAMLAND is a nut-free facility. To maintain a safe space, we ask that only water be brought into the play area. We encourage all visitors to bring a water bottle, as we schedule water breaks every 15 minutes to keep everyone hydrated.

Illness Policy

To protect all guests and prevent the spread of illness, children showing symptoms of illness must stay home until they are symptom-free for 24 hours, without the use of medication. Symptoms include, but are not limited to:

• Unexplained pain, sore throat, runny nose, coughing, and fever
• Difficulty breathing, wheezing, or a persistent cough
• Infected skin or eyes, rashes, or diarrhea
• Any known contagious diseases, such as Hand Foot Mouth Disease, Pink Eye, or head lice

If your child shows any signs of illness during their visit, we ask that you pick them up as soon as possible to ensure the safety of others.

Head Lice Procedure

In the event of head lice, we ask that all parents check their child’s hair daily. If head lice are found outside of the facility, please notify us immediately. If discovered during a visit, parents will be contacted to pick up their child. After treatment, children may return to the facility. We will also inform other parents so they can take the necessary precautions.

Safe Release of Children Policy

To ensure the safety of all children, we provide wristbands to both parents and children at check-in. Parents must show the matching wristband at pick-up. If there are any custody restrictions, we will require authorization from the custodial parent before releasing the child to anyone else.

Incident Policy

We are committed to providing a safe, nurturing environment. Therefore, no child under our care will be subjected to shoving, hitting, or other forms of physical harm. Our staff is trained to address any behavioral issues calmly and effectively, and children will not be separated from others unless supervised by a responsible adult.

Emergency & Disaster Plan

DREAMLAND is equipped with an emergency plan in case of fire, earthquake, or other disasters. Our employees are trained in emergency procedures, including fire drills, CPR, and First Aid. Emergency exits are clearly marked, and communication systems are in place to notify parents should an emergency occur.

Power Outage & Snow Policies

In the event of a power outage or extreme weather conditions, such as heavy snowfall, we may need to close for safety reasons. We will inform parents promptly by social media if such a closure is necessary. If the power is out for more than 2 hours, we may ask parents to pick up their children early. 

Food & Drink Policy

For safety and cleanliness, no food or drinks, except water in a closed bottle, are permitted inside the play area. We kindly ask that you enjoy any snacks or meals in designated areas outside the play area.

Cleaning Protocol

At DREAMLAND, cleanliness is a top priority. Our cleaning procedures include daily sanitization of floors, surfaces, and toys. We use eco-friendly products to minimize environmental impact and ensure a safe play environment for all children. In addition, a professional cleaning service conducts a deep cleaning every week.

Temporary Playground Closure Policy:

To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all guests, DREAMLAND may temporarily close the playground if we reach full capacity or if certain circumstances arise. Our facility can accommodate up to 25 children, or 50 total people, at any given time. The following situations may require a temporary closure:

• Full Capacity: When the maximum number of guests is reached.
• Birthday Parties: When a birthday party is hosted and capacity is reached.
• Hazards: If any unsafe conditions are identified.
• Maintenance or Cleaning: Regular maintenance or cleaning procedures to maintain a safe and hygienic environment.

If necessary, the playground may be closed temporarily, or for the remainder of the day, to maintain a safe and enjoyable experience for all. We appreciate your understanding and encourage you to check for availability before planning your visit.
