Safety and Policies
Check In and Pick Up
When you arrive in our preschool area, staff and volunteers will help you use the kiosks to check your child in. We will print a label for your child, one to hand to your child’s teacher, and a corresponding claim check code label. We ask that only one parent, with their security number, pick up the child. We ask that parents refrain from entering the preschool rooms.

Our target for each room is an adult-child ratio of 1 to 4. Every caregiver has completed a background check before they are permitted to work with children. All childcare teachers are CPR trained and certified.
The nursery is equipped with a fully stocked medical kit. Each room is equipped with evacuation cribs, in case of emergency.
What to Bring
Please bring extra diapers, bottles, cups with lids, pacifiers or other soothing items, and extra clothes.
Please make sure that your child’s belongings are clearly labeled with his or her name.
Please do not bring toys from home.
Well-Child Policy
For the protection of the all of the children in our care, we cannot accept children with the following symptoms: heavy, frequent, or productive cough, pink eyes or discharge from eyes, lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, green and runny nose, or any contagious skin condition.
Children should be fever free for 24 hours before they are with other children.
Children who appear ill during a session will be isolated and made as comfortable as possible. Parents will be called to come immediately to pick up the child.
Please contact the church office should your child become ill following a childcare session.
No medication will be administered by preschool workers. (In Emergency situations, Epi Pens can be administered as prescribed).
Snack Time and Allergies
Toddlers and older preschoolers might be offered a snack of Goldfish Crackers, Cheese-Its, Vanilla Wafers, Animal Crackers, or Cheerios. If other snacks are offered, the teachers will post an Allergy Alert Sign to inform parents during drop off.
If your preschooler has food or insect allergies, please let us know. You can pick up an allergy information form at a Preschool Welcome Desk.
