For the safety and security of every child participating in GEMS Summit childcare, MWO will use a matching-wristband system for child pick-up.
At check-in, each child and their designated authorized pick-up person will receive corresponding identification wristbands. Parents/guardians are responsible for keeping their wristband secure throughout the Summit.
At pick-up, children will only be released after the childcare team has verified the identity and authorization of the person picking them up.
Standard Pick-Up Procedure
- The authorized pick-up person must present the wristband that corresponds with the child's wristband.
- Please do not transfer, exchange, or give your wristband to anyone who is not authorized to pick up your child.
Lost or Missing Wristband
We understand that wristbands can occasionally be lost or damaged. If an authorized pick-up person does not have the corresponding wristband, additional identity verification will be required before the child can be released.
The individual must:
- Be listed as an authorized pick-up person on the child's completed intake form; AND
Present a valid government-issued photo ID that matches the name provided on the intake form.
The Childcare Lead or designated MWO staff member must verify this information before the child is released.
A child's recognition of an adult or verbal confirmation alone will not be considered sufficient authorization for pick-up.
If the childcare team is unable to verify the individual's identity and authorization, the child will remain safely in the supervised childcare area until an authorized pick-up person can be verified.
