•   I understand that my child will not be allowed to leave with any unauthorized person. All persons authorized to pick up my
    child, including older siblings or other relatives, must be listed with the Y and must be of the age required by this Y. Any
    other arrangements must be made by calling the Child Care office at

•   I understand that should a person arrive to pick up my child who appears to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, for
    the child’s safety, staff may have no recourse but to contact the police. Please do not put staff in a position where they have
    to make this judgment call.
•   I understand that the Y is mandated by state law to report any suspected cases of child abuse or neglect to the appropriate
    authorities for investigation.
•   I understand that Y staff and volunteers are not allowed to babysit or transport children at any time outside the Y program.
    Immediate disciplinary action will be taken by the Y toward staff and volunteers if a violation is discovered.
•   I understand that I am not to leave children unattended. I will wait for Y staff or volunteer to receive and supervise the child.
•   I understand that children should not receive excessive gifts (e.g., TV, video games, jewelry) from Y staff or volunteers, and
    that I should report this to a supervisor if they do.

I understand that I can help ensure my child’s safety by taking an active interest in his or her Y experience. I too, will monitor
volunteer and staff interactions with my child and ask my child specific questions about program activities and volunteer or staff
relationships with my child.

Modified Operation - May include cancellation/postponement or rescheduling of normal activities. These actions are normally
taken in case of a winter storm or building problems (such as utility disruptions) that make it unsafe for students but may be
necessary in a variety of situations.

Please visit us online at www.gv-ymca.org or Channel 69 News WFMZ for announcements relating any of the emergency actions
listed above. Additionally, we will be utilizing Remind.com for text message alerts.

We ask that you not call during the emergency. This will keep the main line telephone free to make emergency calls and relay
information. We will call you to let you know that we have taken one of these protective actions. We will also call you when we
have resolved the situation and it is safe for you to pick up your child either at the YMCA or at our relocation facility.

If an emergency forces school to close, please do not attempt to take your child to the YMCA. The designated persons to pick up
your child during an emergency are listed on the Emergency Contact Form included with the Registration Packet.

We urge all families to have their own emergency plan in place. Your plan should include a predetermined meeting spot for all
family members along with designated family and friends who are able and available to pick up your child in the event you are
unavailable.

In order to assure the safety of your children and our staff, I ask for your understanding and cooperation. Should you have
additional questions regarding our emergency operating procedures, contact your Child Care Director.

For Allentown YMCA SACC, Early Childhood and
ALL FUN DAY participants only.
Greater Valley YMCA, Allentown Branch Child Care and School-Age Educational Program
Dear Parent/Guardian:
This letter is intended for parents or guardians of children enrolled in a child care center. Greater Valley YMCA, Allentown Branch Child Care and
School-Age Educational Program offers healthy meals to all enrolled children as part of our participation in the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s
(USDA) Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The CACFP provides reimbursements for healthy meals and snacks served to children enrolled
in child care. Please help us comply with the requirements of the CACFP by completing the attached Meal Benefit Income Eligibility Form. In
addition, by filling out this form, we will be able to determine if your child(ren) qualifies for free or reduced price meals.
1. Do I need to fill out a Meal Benefit Form for each of my children in day care? You may complete and submit one CACFP Meal Benefit Income
Eligibility Form for all children enrolled in child care in your household only if the children in child care are enrolled in the same center. We cannot
approve a form that is not complete, so be sure to read the instructions carefully and fill out all required information. We request that ALL families
complete the forms. Return the completed form to: Greater Valley YMCA, Allentown Branch, 425 South 15th Street, Allentown, PA 18102.
2. Who can get free meals without providing income information? Children in households getting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) (formerly
Food Stamps), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits can get
free meals. Foster children and children enrolled in Head Start are also eligible for free meals. Children in households participating in WIC may be
eligible for free meals.
3. Who can get reduced price meals? Your children can get low cost meals if your household income is within the reduced price limits on the Federal Income
Chart, shown on this application. Children in households participating in WIC may be eligible for reduced price meals.
4. May I fill out a form if someone in my household is not a U.S. citizen? Yes. You or your children do not have to be U.S. citizens to qualify for
meal benefits offered at the child care center.
5. Who should I include as members of my household? You must include everyone in your household (such as grandparents, other relatives, or
friends who live with you) who shares income and expenses. You must include yourself and all children who live with you. You also may include
foster children who live with you.
6. How do I report income information and changes in employment status? The income you report must be the total gross income listed, by
source, each household member received last month. If last month’s income does not accurately reflect your circumstances, you may provide a
projection of your monthly income. If no significant change has occurred, you may use last month’s income as a basis to make this projection. If
your household’s income is equal to or less than the amounts indicated for your household’s size on the attached Income Chart, the center will
receive a higher level of reimbursement. Once properly approved for free or reduced price benefits, whether through income or by providing a
current SNAP, TANF, or FDPIR case number, you will remain eligible for those benefits for 12 months. You should notify us, however, if you or
someone in your household becomes unemployed and the loss of income causes your household income to be within the eligibility standards.
7. What if my income is not always the same? List the amount that you normally get. For example, if you normally get $1000 each month, but
you missed some work last month and only got $900, put down that you get $1000 per month. If you normally get overtime, include it, but not if
you only get it sometimes.
8. What if I have foster children? Foster children that are under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court are eligible for free
meals. Any foster child in the household is eligible for free meals regardless of income. Households may include foster children on the Meal Benefit
Form, but are not required to include payments received for the foster child as income. Households wishing to apply for such benefits for foster
children should contact Greater Valley YMCA, Allentown Branch, 425 South 15th Street, Allentown, PA 18102, 610-351-9622.
9. We are in the military; do we include our housing and supplemental allowances as income? If your housing is part of the Military Housing
Privatization Initiative and you receive the Family Subsistence Supplemental Allowance, do not include these allowances as income. Also, in regard
to deployed service members, only that portion of a deployed service member’s income made available by them or on their behalf to the household
will be counted as income to the household. Combat Pay, including Deployment Extension Incentive Pay (DEIP) is also excluded and will not be
counted as income to the household. All other allowances must be included in your gross income.
In the operation of child feeding programs, no person will be discriminated against because of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.

If you have other questions or need help, call 610-351-9622.

Sincerely,

Tami S. Unger

Child Care Director
