Edge Kids is classified as a “drop-in” center geared for children aged 12 weeks *3months to 12 years. Children may visit up to 2 times per day (once in the AM and once in the PM) for a maximum of 2 hours per visit. During this time, the child’s parent, grandparent, or legal guardian must remain on the premises. Any child signed in must be the child or grandchild of an Edge Member. Children must have an active Edge Kids membership or a day pass receipt to be checked in. Children will not be permitted to leave with anyone other than the person who signed them in. Children must be signed out before leaving the Edge Kids™ room.

Edge Kids accepts children 12 weeks *3 months through 12 years old. To ensure safety and security, children under the age of 2 will be engaged in an exclusive infant/toddler area. Children over 2 years are not permitted in this area. Children under age 2 are not permitted in the main Edge Kids or Youth Kids rooms.

We want to make your child’s fitness experience special. We know you are eager to watch your children in action but sometimes your presence can inhibit participation and disrupt the program. We respectfully request that you remain in the check-in area and exit the room promptly at drop-off and pick-up. Our Edge Kids Coaches are passionate about children, love fitness, and are focused on the safety of your children.

Children must keep their hands and feet to themselves. No kicking, hitting, pushing, or biting other children or coaches. Foul language will not be tolerated. The Edge Fitness Clubs reserves the right to suspend privileges to any member who willingly violates the Edge or Edge Kids policies and/or infringes upon the right of enjoyment to another member or guest.

Procedures In case of an emergency, you need to be aware of our plan for evacuating and releasing your child. First and foremost, remain calm. Remember, it is our primary concern that children remain safe at all times, and that there is an orderly release of each child. Please do not attempt to enter the Edge Kids Room during an evacuation, instead, gather at the meeting area as instructed by Edge management. Locations may vary according to the situation.
For the safety of every child, we must document to whom each child is released. Edge Kids Coaches will remain on duty until all children have been signed out by their parents or guardian. It may take some time for the orderly dismissal of all children, so please be patient and be prepared to wait. The less confusion, the quicker children will be reunited with parents/guardians. Children will not be released without a signature by a parent/guardian. Once released please exit the area with your child in a calm and orderly manner.
-
When an injury occurs, parents of the involved parties will be informed. We give immediate attention and, if necessary, first aid to children who are injured. An incident report will be completed. The name of the children involved will be kept confidential. We request that parents also honor this policy.

Children should be dressed appropriately for ACTIVE play. Sneakers and gym attire are required for participation in most activities. If your child is not dressed appropriately, participation in activities may be limited.

Hours are posted inside the club and on our website. Inclement weather may affect Edge Kid's Operating hours. We will make every effort to notify members of changes to operating hours due to inclement weather and staffing shortages due to Covid-19. If you are unsure if Edge Kids will be open, you should contact the facility before coming to confirm.

Our Edge Kids program is committed to the health and safety of your children during their time with us. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we encourage all kids attending Edge Kids to wear a mask. In an effort to maintain a sanitary and healthy environment, we may exclude or require that you remove, from the Edge Kids room any child we deem in our sole discretion to be a sick child. If a child becomes sick while in the Edge Kids Room, you must immediately remove the child, whom we will endeavor to isolate until you check the child out. If your child does not attend daycare, preschool, or school due to illness, your child may not use our Edge Kids. We may require a physician’s verification of wellness before a sick child returns to Edge Kids. We reserve the right to determine whether a child is sufficiently sick to be excluded or removed from Edge Kids, but a child who exhibits one or more of the following symptoms is subject to exclusion or removal:
- A child with a reportable illness or condition that a physician determines has not had sufficient treatment to reduce risk to others
- A child with chickenpox, until no longer infectious and the lesions are crusted over
- A child who has vomited or had any abnormally loose stool within the prior 24 hours
- A child who has contagious conjunctivitis (pink eye) or mucus draining from the eye
