Sunday Morning Toddlers and Preschoolers learn a new story of the Bible each week. We have a two year rotation of our Bible-based curriculum. One year will be based on Old Testament and the next year will be based on the New Testament. Each week, our 1 year through 4 year old kids will be getting the same lesson but at age-appropriate levels. We read the Bible story, sing, do crafts, learn sign language and play games that all relate to our story for the week. Preschool Place is for four year olds. They have a large group worship time (which can include singing, puppets and stories). What an awesome experience it is to see our children learning about their God!

All Early Childhood children are checked in through the Children of Grace Security System.
Your child will be given a name tag when you check-in; this tag should be placed on the back of their clothing before you take them into the classroom. You will also be given a matching tag with your child's information and a special ID number. Check-in stations are located in the Main Worship Center, the Lobby of the Children's Center, Family Center and the Preschool Center.

When You Arrive At Your Child's Room
A teacher will meet you at the classroom door to receive your child and any other necessary items. Please note any information that will help in caring for your child such as feeding times, sleeping times, allergies and/or special needs.

The teacher will also check your child's identification tag. In the event your child becomes fussy or is in need of a parent, the identification number on your tag will display in the worship areas to alert you to return to your child's classroom. (Please see pick-up procedures below.)

Snacks
Snacks are provided for the children once they graduate to the toddler area. The food items consist of water and animal crackers. If your child has an allergy, please inform the leader when you check in your child. Fellowship is a peanut-free environment.

Curriculum
We believe even our littlest ones can learn! Regular learning experiences are planned and lessons are reinforced with songs, play and supervised activities designed for the abilities of the children. Children may also visit the playground, weather permitting. Please send a jacket or sweater with your child during cooler weather.

Saying Good-bye
After you have completed the check-in process and dropped your child at their classroom, simply wave a quick good-bye and leave for your worship service. As you know, it is normal for little ones to cry when leaving a parent. 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 fusses for an extended period of time (over 10 minutes), we will display your security number on the LCD screens located in the worship areas for you to return to your child's class.

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
At the end of the service, please scan your key tag or label you were given at check-in. This will print a "receipt." You will need this receipt in order to pick-up your child. Children will not be released without this tag. Your child's leader will expect the same person to drop off and pick-up each child unless special instructions are given at check-in. If any malfunction or computer failure should occur, please be prepared to show picture ID.  Please make sure your child's personal items have been returned to you before you leave the premises.
