When dropping off the Child, you understand that you must sign in on the attendance sheet using your legal signature and noting the actual time of arrival.

You understand that the Child must be picked up at the applicable Brella Location at the end of the Appointment. If the Child is not picked up within five minutes after the Appointment has expired, the Parent will be charged a fee for each minute the Child remains at Brella. If you are late and Brella has not heard from you, Brella will first attempt to reach the Parent by phone. If Brella cannot get in contact with the Parent by phone, then Brella will attempt to contact the Safe Pick Up and Emergency Contact. You understand that if Brella has not heard from you within one hour after the expiration of the Appointment or 30 minutes after the Brella facilities have closed for the day, Brella is required by law to call the local police department.

Only a Parent or designated Safe Pick Up of a Child may pick up a Child.

If a Safe Pick Up does not have the Safe Pick Up App or a mobile device, the Safe Pick Up must provide Brella with a legal form of photo identification, such as a driver’s license or passport.

You understand that under the laws of the state of California, both Parents may have the right to pick up their Child, unless a court document restricts that right. The enrolling Parent, who chooses not to include the Child’s other parent as a Safe Pick Up or Emergency Contact, must file an official court document (e.g., current restraining order, sole custody decree, divorce decree stating sole custody). You understand that absent that document, Brella may release the child to either Parent, provided that the Parent documents his paternity or her maternity, as the case may be, of the Child.
