Welcome to our preschool ministry!
Our preschool serves newborns through 5 year olds. Loving, caring
workers strive to create a positive atmosphere where preschoolers can
have fun and learn about God. Care is provided during Sunday Morning
Bible Study for children from birth to 5 years. Extended Session care
is also provided during both our Sunday Morning Worship Services for
children from birth to 4 years. During Sunday Morning Worship, five
year olds are invited to participate in Kidz Praise. Please check out
our Children's Ministry page to find out more about Kidz Praise.
Check-In and Security
Please check in your child at the front desk in the lobby of the
education building (B Building), located near the rear parking lot. On
your first visit you will be asked to fill out an informational form
about you and your child including any special care instructions. We
provide a small snack such as crackers or fruit snacks. If your child
has any special dietary requirements, please send an appropriate snack
with your child. We also ask that children that haven't been potty
trained come with a stocked diaper bag.
Security for your children while they are with us is a top priority.
All of our workers are background checked prior to working with the
children. For your child's safety, we also require that preschoolers
have a parent on the church campus while the child is in our care.
We are set-up with a security pager system to help provide a safe and
helpful environment for you and your preschooler. When you check in
you will be given a 2 part name tag with a unique identifying number
for your child. Your child will wear one part of the tag and you will
take the other part with you. You can also indicate important care
instructions on stickers attached to your child's clothing or name
tag. When you pick your child up, you will surrender your part of the
security tag and it will be matched to your child's tag to ensure that
children are only released to the appropriate adults.
If you are needed in the nursery during one of the Worship Services
the digital box on the wall located near the East Exit in the Worship
Center will flash your child's security number. If you are needed
during Sunday School, one of the Preschool Office Staff will come to
your room to get you.
Sunday School
Children in the preschool department are divided by age groups for
Sunday School. Children are taught in age appropriate ways about the
truths of the Bible and God's great love for them. Infants through
toddlers are held, rocked, sung to and played with. Our two through
five year old classes play, sing songs, make crafts, take walks around
the church campus, tell stories, pray and generally have a lot of fun.
