Operating regulations for the Montessori Club Poupě (Bud)

• The Montessori Club Poupě is operated by the Montessori Centre Náměšť n.O., which aims to educate and raise children using the Montessori method.
  
  The club opens 10 minutes before the start of each programme. Programs have a limited capacity, with a maximum of 8 adults and 8 children participating in activities for parents and children.

  Individual programmes are paid for on a half-yearly basis, although it is also possible to pay for single entries. Children attending joint programmes with parents must be accompanied by at least one parent, who is responsible for their child throughout their stay in the club. Parents will be informed about the content, scope, and Montessori methodology of the programme.

  Valuable and personal belongings should be brought into the classroom by parents. The club provides educational materials, so children should leave toys and personal items in the cloakroom or in their backpacks or bags.

  Before the programme starts, both parents and children must wash their hands.
  
  Visitors to the club should bring their own food and drinks. Consumption of food and drinks is only allowed in designated areas. Any uneaten food will not be stored in the club, and each visitor should take it home after the programme ends.

  Towels are provided in the bathroom and kitchen area and are changed daily. Visitors may bring their own towels if desired.
  
  Smoking is strictly prohibited within the club premises.

  Parents and children are expected to adhere to the rules in each section, behave quietly, and follow the organisational instructions and regulations of the club.

  Technical equipment in the club (CD player, electrical appliances, lighting) is operated by the instructor or a designated person.
  
  Only healthy parents and healthy children without signs of acute illness may enter the Montessori club.

  The hygiene facilities in the bathrooms are suitable for children's ages. A built-in children's seat and potties are available, which parents should clean after each use.
  
  The hot water in the boiler, which flows in the bathroom and kitchen area, is set to a maximum of 45°C.

  A lidded container for disposing of used disposable diapers is provided in the bathroom. Used diapers are always taken out after each programme ends.

  Waste is sorted in the Montessori club, and containers for sorted waste are available in the kitchen area.
  
  Qualified instructors trained in Montessori pedagogy are present at each programme.
