When You Arrive At Your Child's Room

A leader will meet you at the check-in area to receive your child and any other necessary items. Please check-in and note any information that will help in caring for your child such as feeding times, sleeping times, allergies and special needs.

At the time of check-in, a leader will greet you and enter your child's and your information into our check-in system.  Please remember to provide a cell phone number that you have with you so that in the event that we need to contact you during service we will be able to text message you.  Please remember to leave your phone on vibrate during the service.  A leader will then apply an adhesive name tag to your child's back with his or her name on it.  You will be given a matching tag.  This tag will need to be presented at the time of pick up.  A child will not be released without presentation of the parents corresponding tag.

Snacks
Snacks are provided for the children once they graduate to the Walker (Star Fish) classroom. The food items consist of water and Cheerios or vanilla wafers for our new walkers and toddlers. If your child has an allergy, please inform the leader when you check in your child.

Curriculum
We believe even our littlest ones can learn! Regular learning experiences are planned and lessons are reinforced with songs, play and supervised activities designed with the ability of the children in mind.   
Saying Good-bye
After you have completed the check-in process, simply wave a quick good-bye and leave for the worship service. As you know, it is normal for little ones to cry when leaving a parent. This does not last long, and separation becomes easier over time. Our leaders will immediately try to create interest in a toy or activity and give assurance that you will return after the worship service is completed. If your child cries for an extended period of time of 10 minutes, we will page you. 


Pick-up Procedures

Your child's leader will expect the person to pick up your child to have the verification recipt given at the time of check-in. Please make sure to hold on to the receipt to ensure a quick and secure check-out.  Please make sure that all your child's personal items have been returned to you before you leave the premises. Lost and found items will be retained for a short time.  Items not claimed after one month are donated to a charitable organization.
