The Children’s Waiting Rooms will remain closed until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.

Overview

Since 2016, the San Bernardino Superior Court has provided Children’s Waiting Rooms at designated court facilities. This program provides a safe place for children away from the courtroom, which can at times be an upsetting and frightening experience.

The Children’s Waiting Rooms are operated and staffed by a private vendor, Choices for Children, with credentialed and experienced childcare providers, trained to interact with children positively.

Please review the court’s policies and procedures regarding the waiting rooms.
