What to Expect...
0-2 Year Olds
We know that leaving your new baby for the first time can be overwhelming. The volunteers in our0-2 room have been chosen for this age group because of their love for babies and their training to care for all of the needs of your infant. We hope that the following information will help you and your baby have a great experience on Sunday morning.
Please bring nappies, bottles, dummies, and any special blankets that will soothe your baby through the morning.
Label all items that belong to your baby.
2-5 Year Olds
We believe that it is our responsibility to introduce pre-schoolers to their Heavenly Father. So before they leave Kidlings, we want them to know:
God loves me,
God made me, and
Jesus wants to be my friend forever.
Every month we focus on one of these three basic truths. Each week your children will learn a Bible story and participate in fun, creative activities that teach the one key truth for the month.
If you would like to know what your children are learning, please pick up a copy of the Small Talk card located on the tables outside the classroom doors. You are the best teacher for your children, so use the activities to talk about God all week at home.
We want Sunday to be the BEST DAY of your child’s week. The following information will help you understand what the Sunday morning experience is like.
Sunday morning is divided into several segments:
As soon as they walk in the door, they participate in a MAKE IT FUN activity that is designed to grab their attention.
They will then hear a creative presentation of the Bible story and participate in worship, where they are encouraged to sing and dance and interact with their leaders.
During the last part of their morning, they will participate in several creative, fun activities designed to help them better understand the key truth of the day through a hands-on experience.
Be sure to bring extra nappies and a change of clothes.
Label all items, including cups, snacks, nappies, dummies, etc.
If your children are potty training, please be sure to communicate that to the teacher. We ask that they wear pull-ups to the classrooms.
Volunteers are never allowed in the bathrooms alone with children. They will assist them with clothing (as needed) outside the door and with handwashing afterwards inside the classroom.
We provide snacks each week. We usually serve rice crackers or arrowroot biscuits.
When we are serving something new, you will see a note posted on the door of the classroom.
If your children have any allergies or special dietary needs and cannot eat what we have provided, please inform the teachers and bring appropriate snacks for them.
Please do not bring extra toys, since it is hard to distinguish what belongs to whom. This can cause the children unnecessary frustration when they are asked to share something that was brought from home.
