Safe Play Policy + Caregiver Supervision
Play nice. We don’t allow rough play. If you notice any dangerous or inappropriate behavior, please alert our staff right away.

Illness Policy

NO SICK GUESTS!
In an effort to keep all of our visitors safe and healthy, Little Sprouts Cafe + Play reserves the right to refuse admission to any ill children at the discretion of a staff member. If it is not noticed until your child starts playing that they are sick, Little Sprouts is not required to issue a refund if you must be asked to leave due to illness.
If your child is too sick to go to school, they are too sick to come to Little Sprouts. We follow the same guidelines as our local schools.
Your child must be symptom-free and fever-free for at least 48 hours before coming to play!
Please don’t allow your child to bring any toys, books, costumes, etc. into our bathrooms. Also, ensure that you and your child wash your hands before returning to the cafe or play space.
​
We require all diaper changes to occur in our bathrooms or on the back changing table ONLY. Please throw your diaper waste into the bathroom trash bins.

Please clean up after yourself and your children.
This simple step helps us keep our space clean and safe for future guests. If you notice a dirty toy or your child has put a toy in their mouth, please place that toy in our dirty toy bin for staff to sanitize.
Is there parking at Little Sprouts?
Yes! We have parking lots at both Shorewood and Mequon. In addition to the parking lot right outside our front door, there is also plenty of street parking at Shorewood.
Food + Dining Policy

To protect our guests with food sensitivities, our goal is provide a safe food environment. However, parents are ultimately responsible for selecting appropriate food and drink menu items for their child and for monitoring their child while they eat and drink.

Bathrooms + Diaper Changes
Yes, you can. Actually, play is drop in only!
Walk-ins are welcome on a first come, first serve basis until we meet our capacity. If we are full first thing in the morning, we often have additional room for guests around 10:30a and 12p each day.

You are welcome to call our cafe anytime to check for walk-in availability at 414.563.7529.
Of course! However, in order to keep our play areas safe for our smallest visitors, we ask children 7 years old and older to play very gently with our younger guests.

What are your health guidelines?
One of our top priorities in our space is the safety and health of our families. We use a combination of EPA approved disinfecting cleaners throughout our space to provide you with a child-safe, environmentally healthy play time.
A few of our big guidelines include:
High touch surfaces are wiped throughout open play times.
Toys are rotated and sanitized daily.
All play and dining surfaces are sanitized after play sessions.
Floors are vacuumed and mopped at least one time per day.
Airflow is pulled and exited directly to the outdoors.
Air purifiers are used at our cafe.
Our main goal is to foster a welcoming and encouraging environment where children and parents can connect and feel comfortable. If there is a situation that needs to be addressed, please involve our staff members to intervene. We’re here to help support all of our families.
