COVID-19- Assumption of Risk
Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people.
Blooming Einsteins has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, Blooming Einsteins cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending the Club could increase your risk and your child(ren)'s risk of contracting COVID-19.
By signing this agreement, I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my child(ren) and I may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending Blooming Einsteins and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at the Blooming Einsteins may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, Blooming Einsteins employees, volunteers, and program participants and their families.
I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my child(ren) or myself (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that I or my child(ren) may experience or incur in connection with my child(ren)'s attendance at the Blooming Einsteins or participation in Blooming Einsteins programming ("Claims"). On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Blooming Einsteins, its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of Blooming Einsteins, its employees, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during, or after participation in any Blooming Einsteins program
I also agree to inform Blooming Einsteins if my child or anyone we are in contact with currently has been confirmed with Covid-19 or has been exposed to Covid-19. I also agree to inform Blooming Einsteins of any symptoms, fever, out of the country travel (past 90 days) or health concerns related to Covid-19.

Behavior Policy
Behavior Policy Students will be required to abide by the Blooming Einsteins policies, and procedures, to ensure that each participant remains safe. We are a non-corporal punishment facility. In most cases when discipline is needed, we believe in redirection, or diversion. If the previous measures become ineffective, we will notify parents. If poor behavior continues, a conference with parents will be held to discuss the behavior, and positive methods, to promote more appropriate behavior at our school. If behavior does not improve, as a last resort, the student may be removed from the program. Fighting, of any kind, will not be tolerated, and may result in suspension. This may include intentional hitting, punching, kicking, biting, swearing, or bullying. Gossiping about students, and/or their families, is also prohibited, and may result in suspension. We can assure you that safety, of all of our students, physically, emotionally, and socially, is our primary goal.
