Regarding Waitlists
The Youth Services Department does not have a wait list, only a standby policy. You must be present/standing by the room to see if a spot opens up due to a no show. Standby is based on a first come-first served policy and physical space in the room.
Regarding Food Allergies for Food/Snack Programs
Please note that while we strive to avoid common allergens like peanuts, the foods are not guaranteed to be completely allergen free.
