What to Expect

Our caregivers teach the children through songs and play that Jesus loves them and that they are wonderfully made.  During class, children will be read a Bible story, create a craft related to the story, color, and participate in other activities, such as singing songs.

Your Child's Health
 
  • To ensure the health of children and volunteers, we ask that sick children do not attend, if the following exist: fever (over 99.5 degrees), vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours, any symptom of childhood diseases such as scarlet fever, German measles, mumps, chicken pox or whooping cough, common cold - from onset through one week, sore throat, croup, any unexplained rash, any skin infection - boils, ringworm or impetigo, untreated pink eye or other eye infection, any communicable disease, lice, including the presence of eggs or nits. These are the guidelines that we follow and we expect that a child or volunteer be free of fever for 24 hours attending.  Additionally, if your child should become ill or start to run a fever during the church service, you will be called upon to come to their classroom and pick your child up.  Volunteers are not permitted to administer any type of medication to children in their care.
  • During class, children are usually provided with a snack and drink.  If your child has any allergies or dietary restrictions, please let the volunteer know upon check-in. 
When you arrive
  • Please label all articles you leave for the child.
  • When you arrive, you and your child will be received by a volunteer and asked to sign in.  A security badge with a number will be provided to you when you sign the child in. .  When signing in, you must provide some basic information, including where you will be while they are in class (ie service, class, etc)..  If your child needs you during service, you will see your security badge number displayed on the screens during service.  Please come to your child's classroom immediately.  If you are in a class, a volunteer will come get you.
  • When you pick up your child, you must return the security badge.  For safety reason, only adults are permitted to pick up the children.  Please remember to also take with you the child's activity bag and any personal articles you left in the classroom.
  • We request that children be picked up immediately following the service. Even a well adjusted child can become anxious or fearful if he or she is left after the other children have gone home. 
Security

New security procedures went into affect as of September 23,2007.  All of our volunteers are fully screened and background checked. Parents are given a numbered security badge for each child they check in.  No one will be allowed to pick a child without the parent security badge.
