Drop-off takes place on the Baker Street side of the Museum. The drop-off lane is available from 8:30 AM – 9:00 AM for the 1st session and from 1:30 PM – 2:00 PM for the 2nd session. Children will be checked in outside using the Brightwheel app and Museum team members will conduct temperature checks during drop-off. We ask that parent & child stay in the vehicle until a Museum team member approaches you. Parent & child should have masks on when exiting the vehicle. Parents will need to wait until temperature check and the Brightwheel check-in are completed to leave. If a child has a temperature of 100.4 or higher they will not be allowed to participate in TiNY Teams that day. Parents will not be permitted inside the Museum.

Late Drop-Off: Please notify the Museum through Brightwheel upon arrival so a team member can check you in.

All children are required to wear cloth, CDC-approved facemasks for the duration of their session. We recommend labeling facemasks with the child’s name. Facemask breaks are incorporated into the daily schedule.

The Museum does not serve food; however, snack time is included in our daily schedule. Children must bring their own snacks and drinks with them from home. Please label lunch boxes with the child’s name.

Children cannot share snacks. Snacks should not contain any peanut products. Children will not have access to a microwave, and for health and safety purposes, the water fountains are not available. Please let us know if your child has food allergies on our Health & Safety Information sheets.

We are taking every precaution to keep your children safe while they are participating in our TiNY Teams program. We are constantly evaluating our policies and procedures to follow the current recommended health and safety guidelines as recommended by the CDC, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, and local and state officials. Temperature checks and health screenings will be held at the time of drop-off. Parents should wait until their child’s temperature check is completed. Frequent hand washing, access to hand sanitizer, and maintaining social distancing of 6 ft. or greater where possible will also be implemented. Please note: TiNY Teams members will have passive exposure to CMA check-in staff and other Teams due to the structure of the Museum. Additional enhanced cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing measures are in place throughout the Museum.
