• Birthday child and parent(s) should arrive at least 15 minutes early (though please no more than 30 minutes early as the room will not be ready).

• For the remaining 45 minutes, you will return to the party room for refreshments. It is strongly suggested that parents plan entertainment to keep the children engaged during this time. Staff will be available to help with any clean-up/set-up needs.

There will also be a host to oversee activities. The host will ensure the activities are running smoothly and safely. Parents are asked to assist with supervision of party guests.
