Getting to Know Your Child: Please help us to serve your child/ren better by filling out an All about Me form for each of your children. These forms will be filed in your child’s Sunday school classroom and will help the teachers to get to know your child better. If at any time through out the year something significant changes in the life of your child, please either fill out a new form or ask to see your child’s current form so that you can add to it. Thank you in advance for helping us to better minister to your children

Nursery through Pre-K

Nursery
Our Nursery is for children under two years of age and is supervised throughout the morning by a staff nursery director and parent volunteers. Parents sign in their children and are given a pager. They are paged if there is any concern with their child. The pager also ensures that the child is released to an authorized person.

Two-Year-Old Class
When children turn two they may move to this class located on the main floor in our preschool wing (Fitzhugh side of the building). The room is equipped with a large slide and sand table. Class time includes free play, a story, and simple craft.

Three-Year-Old Class
When children turn three they may move to this room located on the main floor in our preschool wing (Fitzhugh side of the building). This large, bright, cheery room has a sand table, housekeeping corner, large blocks and other toys. Class time includes a story, craft related to the Bible story, and music. Children who turn four after December are encouraged to stay in this class until the following school year.

Pre-K
This room is located on the main floor in our preschool wing (Fitzhugh side of the building). The class is for children who are four or who will turn four in the fall months, as well as for children who are five years old, but not yet in kindergarten. The class time is more structured than in the Three-Year Class and includes crafts, stories, games and music.

Ark Room

“...Let the little children come to me. Don’t stop them, because the kingdom of God belongs to people who are like these little children.“
Luke 18:16

Our church is proud to welcome ALL children and families, including those with special needs. The Ark Room Sunday school class is available for students who need special assistance in the classroom setting during and between both morning services. Our staff are Christian professionals and paraprofessionals from within the community who have experience with children with special needs. The Ark Room Sunday school class uses the Rock Solid Sunday school curriculum, adapted for each unique student.  

Please help us by making these students and families feel welcome. If a child acts differently than you may expect, just remember that we are all God’s children, striving to learn and grow closer to God.

If you feel your child could benefit from the Ark room, please call Allison Kyro 835-6797 ex.13 ( ), or stop by room 18 before or during worship to speak to a staff member.
