Group Expectations & Guidelines

What to Wear

The Bright Horizons Secular group asks that all participants wear appropriate clothing, shoes and weather appropriate gear (including sunscreen and bug spray when applicable). We encourage participants to express their individuality, but to do so in a manner appropriate for an educational setting.

Expectations

A child’s parent or guardian must be present throughout the entire event and should arrive on time to avoid disrupting the lesson. Each family must teach at least one class per semester. Failure to do so may result in losing access to the group the following semester. Pay your fees promptly to avoid missing out on the events. You will be asked to re-enroll each semester. All children and parents/guardians are expected to show respect for members, guests, and the facilities we visit. Disruptive or dangerous behaviors and physical aggression will not be tolerated. Disrespectful behavior, foul or hurtful language and violence toward fellow group members and guests will not be tolerated. Bullying of any type, whether physical or emotional, will not be tolerated. No weapons, e-cigs, tobacco, drugs, or alcohol allowed. Any offenses may result in removal from the Bright Horizons Secular group.
