Families are always welcome at the Palyul Center. Please note, however, that child care is not available at the center. The center is simply not equipped to take on the responsibility of child care. Hence, if you choose to bring your children, you do so at your own risk.

As we would like the retreat experience to be equally wonderful for everyone, and we want our children to be safe and have a good time, a children’s playroom is located on the first floor of the South Dorm. Often parents make arrangements among themselves to mind each other’s children while they play in the Children's Playroom or on the lawn outside the Dining Hall.

There is a closed circuit TV located in the playroom so that parents can participate in the teachings while keeping children entertained. At the appropriate time, everyone comes to the Temple to receive the empowerment substances and blessings.

Further, please be considerate of other retreatants. Avoid allowing your children to play in and around the temple as this can distract other practitioners from their study and practices.

Parents must control their children at all times while in the temple or they may be asked to leave. You may hire a babysitter to watch your child while you are in the center, however the center cannot take any responsibility for the person you select, of course, nor make any recommendations. The Chamber of Commerce located in Greene may be your best resource for such needs. (See the Local Guide for telephone numbers).
