Baby Zone (up to age 2):
Infant Room ~ for children birth through 12 months. Loving, qualified volunteers care for all babies. We will be building a sense of trust as the child's immediate needs are met. Children will begin to build a foundation of God through what they hear and experience here at church.
Toddler Room ~ for children 12 to 24 months. Children see God and the church through the molding of a teacher. Positive attitudes of love, acceptance and security are formed through experiences in the classroom. Bible stories, Bible verses and songs will be taught and repeated on a regular basis.

We seek to fulfill our mission by modeling God's love, providing a safe environment, ensuring that each child feels secure, arranging a child-centered atmosphere and furnishing hands-on activities.

Zoo Zone (ages 2-5):
2's & 3's Area ~ The two and three year olds will learn that God made all things and that God cares for him or her; that Jesus is God's special Son and that He did kind and loving things when He lived on earth; that the Bible is a special book about God and Jesus and that Bible stories are true. We use "God Loves Me" curriculum by CRC Publications. It is a 52-week set of basic bible stories. We read the story and then reinforce the story with a coordinating craft. Each week the children take home a story card that will help them remember and will also go into a book for great bedtime reading.

4's & 5's Area ~ The four and five year olds will learn basic information about God: He made the world, He cares for all people, and forgives him or her when they are sorry for doing wrong. Children will also learn that Jesus died to take punishment for the wrong things we have done and that He rose from the dead and is alive. They will be taught that the Bible tells us to obey God and that he or she can talk to God in prayer. We use "Story Hour" by CRC Publications. Story Hour is an evangelistic program for preschool children. Our goal is to make God known simply and clearly. Each bible story is paired with a related learning activity, but most of what children will learn comes from relationships built in the classroom. Each week a story card is sent home with the bible lesson that was presented. A notebook is given to each child to create bible storybook.

Special Needs:
Offered during the 9:45 service for children aged 2-11 years.

Our Special Needs Class is a disability ministry for our kids and we are dedicated to serving families of children with disabilities. We strive each week to provide a ministry to reveal God and the love of Christ to children with disabilities.

The mission is two-fold: first, it supplements families in loving their children with disabilities into growing relationship with Jesus Christ and second, it provides support for the families as they attend the worship service.

All childcare workers have gone through a detailed reference and background check.
