2. Information About Children
Little Nestlings serves young children, but our public website is intended primarily for parents, legal guardians, caregivers, prospective families, volunteers, and other adults.
Children under age 13 should not independently submit personal information through this website.
When information about a child is submitted through our website for enrollment, registration, scheduling, program participation, or another school-related purpose, that information should be submitted by the child’s parent, legal guardian, or another authorized adult.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal information directly from children under age 13 through the public portions of our website without the involvement of a parent or legal guardian.
If we learn that personal information was submitted directly by a child in a manner that should have required parental involvement or consent, we will take reasonable steps to address the information appropriately, including deleting it when required.
