Click For More Information About Our Health & Safety PlanEVOLVEkids takes the safety of your child very seriously. As such, we have implemented the best practices of USA Gymnastics and the United States Tumbling & Trampoline Association, and followed guidelines from the IDPH and CDC, to maintain a safe gym environment. Here are the rules we have implemented for the Fall/Spring 2024-25 schedule: If your child is sick or not feeling well, do not bring them to class. We have no problem arranging a make up class. If we determine that a child appears to be ill (coughing, sneezing, fever, etc.) then we will be sending the child home in the interest of everyone's safety. Entry in and out of the building is limited to the back door on Depot St. You can no longer enter via Logo Works or the front door of EVOLVEkids. We ask that you do not drop off your child any earlier than 5 minutes prior to class. Please have your child thoroughly wash their hands before class. The CDC recommends 20 seconds of washing with soap and water. Please have your child bring their "gear" (shoes, clothes, ponytail holder, etc.) with them in a bag which can be then stored in a cubby in our lobby during class. Please have your child bring water with them to class. With our clean gym and you following the above rules, we are confident that EVOLVEkids is a safe and healthy environment for your child. If you have any questions about our Health & Safety Plan, please do not hesitate to call Heidi Lawless, EVOLVEkids Owner, at (815) 416-9580.
