Birth to 3 years old: Ratio: 1 adult, per every six children
What to Bring
· Two or three disposable diapers. No cloth diapers, please.
· Pacifier or other item, should your child need it for security.
· A complete change of clothes in case your child would require that.
· A bottle of milk, formula, juice or water. (This is a good practice even for mothers who nurse.)
Please label all personal items with your child's first and last name before arriving at your child's class.
Your Child's Health
We operate a well-child program. For the protection of all the children in our ministry, we cannot accept a child with a runny nose, fresh cold (four days or less), fever, rash, persistent cough, diarrhea or any other signs of illness. We request that you not place your child in the program while they are at risk of exposing other children. Thank you in advance for helping us keep our program a healthy place for all.
When You Arrive at Your Child's Room
· Only an adult can sign children birth to 3 yrs. into Kingdom Kidz.
· A leader will meet you at the check-in area to receive your child and any other necessary items.
· Please check in and note any information that will help in caring for your child such as feeding times, sleeping times, allergies and special needs.
· Please provide a cell phone number. We will send you a text message in case of an emergency. Please remember to leave your phone on vibrate during the service.
· A leader will apply an adhesive name tag to your child's back with his or her name on it.
· You will be given a matching tag. This tag will need to be presented at the time of pick up. A child will not be released without presentation of the parent’s corresponding tag.
Snacks
Snacks are provided for the children.
The food items consist of water and Cheerios or vanilla wafers for our new walkers and toddlers.
If your child has an allergy, please inform the leader when you check in your child.
Curriculum
Regular learning experiences are planned and lessons are reinforced with songs, play and supervised activities designed with the ability of the children in mind.
Saying Good-bye
After you have completed the check-in process, simply wave a quick good-bye and leave for the worship service. As you know, it is normal for little ones to cry when leaving a parent. This does not last long, and separation becomes easier over time. Our leaders will immediately try to create interest in a toy or activity and give assurance that you will return after the worship service is completed. If your child cries for an extended period of time of 10 minutes, we will send you a text message.
Checking On Your Child
Feel free to check on your little one at any time during the worship service. However, we ask that you do so discreetly, trying not to let your child see you.
Pick-up Procedures
The person who dropped off your child should be the same person who picks up your child unless special instructions are given at check-in.
Please make sure that all your child's personal items have been returned to you before you leave the premises. Lost and found items will be retained for a short time.
Nursing Mother's Room
An usher in the main sanctuary will direct nursing mothers to the isolated area designed to provide privacy during feeding times.
