When picking up your child, you will need to show a valid ID (i.e., driver’s license) before your child’s release. If someone else (i.e., babysitter, family member, guardian, etc.) will be picking up your child, they will also need to show a valid ID. Please be sure to let that person know. To ensure the safety of your children, no child will be released to anyone without a valid ID. The person picking up your child must be listed on the registration form.
