What to Expect
At the time of check-in, a loving and trained leader will greet you and your child at the check-in table. Sign your child in on the roster book and fill out a name tag. Please provide us with a cell phone number that you have in your possession. In the event we need to contact you during service, we will send you a text message. Remember to leave your cellular phone on vibrate/silence during the service. Apply the adhesive name tag to your child's clothing and keep the corresponding parent label. This tag will need to be presented at the time of pick up. Your child will not be released without presentation of the corresponding tag.
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 caring leaders will immediately try to soothe your child while assuring them that you will return soon. If your child cries for an extended period of 10 minutes, we will text you.
Curriculum
Our curriculum is organized into 8 week series that are designed to meet you child where they are. All child will learn the same lesson at their age appropriate level. A Bible lesson is taught in the classroom followed by review and application. The lesson is then reinforced by video curriculum and worship. We have games and crafts that are also designed to support the topic of the day.
Snacks
Snacks are provided for your child from Crawling-1st grade. Crawlers will have “Cheerios” available if parent permits and vanilla wafers are given for snack from age 1-1st grade. Please inform the leader if your child has an allergy.
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 to keep our Saddleback Kids program a healthy place.
