SUNDAY MORNINGS
We teach kids the same basic heart truths over and over again until they fully understand them: God created me. God loves me. Jesus wants to be my friend forever! Each of our classes are designed to help even the youngest children begin to understand that God made everything for a purpose-even them! We look forward to this incredible journey with your child and partnering with you in guiding them through prayer and teaching, to help develop Godly character and build lasting relationships as they move towards a whole hearted commitment to Christ.

WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Club 34 6:30-8:00pm
This is the time for your 3 and 4 year olds to learn how they can worship God through praise & music! They will also learn about Missions, to help them understand that not everyone knows about God’s love and what we can do to help others learn about this good news! Childcare for babies and children through age 4 attending mission friends and praise & music is available to parents who are participating in other ministry events in the building. If you are not involved in any event and would like your child to participate in club 34, for the safety of your child it is required that you remain in the building while your child is in our care.
Club Nursery 6:00-8:00pm
Are you plugged in? Don’t forget that while your kids are at Kids Club we also have Club Nursery (ages 0-2) So, if you want to attend a Bible Study or maybe even join the choir we have something for everyone!
PROMOTION
Children in our nursery classes are promoted throughout the year based on both age and motor skills development. New babies begin in our Baby “A” class. As your child begins to crawl, he will be moved to Baby “B.” When walking, he’ll be moved to Baby “C.” As they become more social and interact more with others they will be moved to Baby “D.” Please make your child’s teacher aware of his/her developmental milestones, so that we may best meet the needs of your baby.
Children ages two, three and four are promoted once a year in the fall. In order for children to be promoted to the next age group they must be the age of that group by Septmeber 1st. We promote children with the same requirement as the public school system. Each child in our kindergarten program must have reached age five by Septemeber 1st.
ILLNESS POLICY
If your child has any of the following symptoms, we ask that you do not bring your child. We want to protect your child, other children, and the workers from unnecessary exposure to illness.
DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILD WITH:
*Fever– Currently or within the previous 24 hours.
*Vomiting or diarrhea-even associated with teething or medical condition.
*Common cold-from onset through one week.
*Runny nose with yellow/greenish discharge.
*Sore throat.
*Croup.
*Any unexplained rash.
*Any symptom of childhood disease (i. e. scarlet fever, measles, mumps, chicken pox, whooping cough, strep throat, flu, etc. or any infectious or contagious disease).
*Fifth disease.
*Any skin infection-impetigo, boils, ringworm.
*Eye infection-pink eye or drainage (All eye infections are contagious. The child must be on medication for 24 hours before entering the classroom.)
*Persistent cough.
*Any communicable disease.
If your child develops any of these symptoms/conditions while in our care, we will notify you immediately.
SECURITY
We want you to know that your child is safe and secure while you are in service! We are committed to ensuring all volunteers have backround checks before they are placed in a room with your child.
We have implemented a new child security checkin system that applies to ALL children, babies through 5th grade! When you arrive on Sunday mornings, you will check them in by scanning your family keytag. Upon scanning you will check the appropriate box for which family member is present and a label will automatically print out for your child to wear. This process should take approximately 30 seconds.
For our guests we ask that you completely fill out a guest registration form and security sticker that will identify your child. Each form has a duplicate-the teacher will keep a copy and you will receive the duplicate. No preschooler (babies through 4 years) will be admitted to a class without a security form.
If you are needed while your child is in our care, we will contact you. If you are attending a Bible study, someone will get you from your class. If you are in the Worship Center and you are needed, the last 3 digits on the security form will appear on the message board so that you may come to the preschool area and receive or console your child.
