Children's Waiting Room

Free Child Care While You Are At Court

Operated by Catalyst Community - a program by Catalyst Family, Inc.

Does your child need a safe and fun place to stay while you handle courthouse business?

The Children’s Waiting Room offers free on-site child care for children 2 ½ to 16 years of age. Children must be fully potty-trained (no diapers or pull ups).

Our professionally trained staff will interact with your child in a classroom style setting using enrichment activities designed to keep your child engaged while you conduct court business.

Free snacks are also provided. Classrooms are “nut free.”

Registration

A responsible adult (parent/guardian/caregiver) must accompany the child to drop off at the Children’s Waiting Room. The responsible adult is required to complete a New Child/New Family Registration Agreement for any children attending for the first time within the last 12 months. The responsible adult will be required to show identification upon request.

No advance reservations are necessary.
