Kid Kare
VRIC has made special arrangements this Ramadan for Professional Childcare for children ages 12 months – 7 years as part of the “Kid Kare” program detailed below.
Please note Kid Kare is offered on a first come first serve basis each night. Once we are at capacity for the night, we cannot check in another child unless someone else checks out for the night. Signing the forms does not ensure you a guaranteed space each night. JazakAllah Khair in advance for your understanding!
Please review the Important Notes & Guidelines section and review all the information below. Fill out all the forms ahead of time and bring them with you when you drop off your child for the first time.
The service is available at no cost to everyone, but the suggested donation amount is $10 a night! This will ensure we can pay for the sitters Donate here!
Since there is no charge for the service, we encourage all parents to enroll their kids every night in the Kid Kare program. If you choose to keep your kids with you in the Mommy & Me room, then the parent must remain with their child at all times. No children are allowed in the Mommy & Me room alone. Lastly, children causing a disturbance to those that are praying in the Mommy & Me room will be required to go to the VRIC Kid Kare program.
VRIC’s Ramadan Childcare Service is unique and we expect high demand for it. Therefore, placement in the Childcare Service each night is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so we highly recommend that parents arrive early.
