Down to specifics:
Sunday School Classes for 2 year olds - 5th Grade: Our teachers provide Bible lessons, music, and Bible related activities in a friendly, nurturing atmosphere. A snack is provided for our preschoolers. Older elementary classes occasionally meet outside class time to encourage friendship among the children and to provide serving opportunities.
KFC (Kids for Christ) for 4 year olds - 1st Grade: Our GraceKids enjoy a time of celebration and worship-not fried chicken, as the name amy suggest. Our teachers provide Bible lessons, music, missions and fun activities. A snack is provided, and a time of friendship development is encouraged as the kids enjoy food, fun and fellowship together.
KidsChoir for K - 5th Grades: Our children learn to worship God through music, drama, serving projects and related activities. Although music is an integral part of KidsChoir, we encourage all our GraceKids to participate since learning to worship God is our primary focus.
Special Events: Since one of our desires is to help our children grow in their relationships with one another, we offer a variety of events and activities during the year to help foster good relationships. Sunday School classes occasionally throw parties, attend local sports events or have a meal together. Summer discipleship groups offer opportunities to develop Bible skills, establish friendships and participate in service projects.
Outdoor Kids Clubs, Neighborhood Bible Clubs and outreach events are also offered as an encouragement for our children to invite their friends, neighbors, and relatives who may not know the love of Jesus.
Infant and Toddler Care: Our workers offer loving care in a safe and secure environment. Snacks are also provided for the children.
Security Policy (for infants - Pre-K)
Our preschool parents complete an information form and have their picture taken with their child. The child is released to a parent who is pictured on the form. Visitors complete an information form and are given a security badge with a number on it. They must return the badge when picking up their child.
This security policy is for the safety and welfare of the children entrusted to our care. We appreciate your cooperation.
Sick Policy (for infants - Pre-K)
For the health of all our children and workers, please do not leave your child if he or she has:
-
A fever or has had one in the past 24 hours
-
Diarrhea or has had in the past 24 hours
-
A fresh cold with heavy nasal discharge
-
A constant cough
-
Nausea or vomiting in the past 24 hours
