Release of Children
The safety and security of the children we care for is of paramount importance. That is why we have a strict pick-up policy. No one will be allowed to pick up a child at our facility unless his or her name, address and telephone number appears on the registration form ­ NO EXCEPTIONS. Should a parent / guardian wish to add a name to the form, we will accept a fax sent to us or a written authorization handed to us directly by the parent / guardian. Parents should advise grandparents and family members of our procedures to avoid any potential problems, and remind them to bring picture ID if they are authorized to pick up.

To ensure the security of the children, Tender Hearts staff will adhere to the following pick-up procedures:

• Check a photo identification or valid driver's license to be sure the photograph
  is of the person presenting it. This includes unfamiliar parents.
• Verify the individual is currently listed on the pick-up authorization list.
• If the staff believes a child may be at risk, Tender Hearts reserves the right to refuse the release of a child. This includes not having a car seat in the vehicle.
