on Sunday (Preschool)
 
collage Morning
Sunday mornings our children enjoy Sunday School during the 8:30 and 9:45 hours. Preschool Church is available during all three worship services and our little ones enjoy Kingdom Kids during 8:30 or 11:00. An important part of our Sunday morning is our security measures that we have in place. We want all parents to know that their children are safe while learning about the Word of God.

Sunday School
Our Sunday School uses the Lifeway Family Bible Study series. With this study children experience the bible story and message through activities, games, arts and crafts, music and discussion time. Out teachers are dedicated to teaching our children about God and His Word, sharing with them each week, their own experiences in their spiritual walk.

Preschool Church
What a fun time of learning how to worship our God! Children participate in big worship with their parents and then have the opportunity to come and participate in their own worship service in our Preschool Chapel. Our worship leaders are taking the children on an adventure where they are learning to live like Jesus. Each week the children learn new songs, enjoy activities in our creation stations and learn and study an important Bible message. Life application helps the children learn how to apply scripture to their own lives.

Sunday evenings are a special time of learning for our children and families. Children ages two through Kindergarten are able to participate in our Worship KidStyle while our younger children enjoy creative play with our teachers. After Bible study finishes the children enjoy a snack supper, then our four and five year olds proceed to Preschool Choir. During choir our younger children in free and creative play, and craft time in their classrooms.

The children work on songs each week and prepare a Fall and Spring musical for parents and family members to enjoy. Preschool Choirs follows the traditional school calendar and meets on Sunday evening at 6:25 pm.




Nursery/Preschool Check_in Procedure
We want the check-in and check-out process to be as convenient as possible while still maintaining the security necessary to keep each child safe. Here is what you can expect when you arrive on the Preschool Hall:

Parents, located outside each of our classrooms and at the pager station are the tags you see picture here. We ask that all children ages 3 and under and any preschooler who is visiting Kindergarten and under have one of these security tags. Please fill out the tag and place the large sticker on your child’s back. The smaller sticker can be used to identify a diaper bag for our younger children. Parents, keep that back portion because the number on the tag corresponds to the number on your child’s tag. When parents return for their child, he/she must present the identification tag as a “security claim check” for the child.

If you are visiting or have a child in one of our younger nursery classrooms we ask that you take a pager with you. There is a space on our security tags to write your pager number. We will page you if your child become inconsolable or has an accident. The pagers will only vibrate so please make sure you wear them and do not place them in your pocket book.

Even if we know you, it is our policy to require the security tag. As an example, there may be a custody situation between parents that we are unaware of. Please be patient and understanding as we do this for the benefit of your child.
