In the Lobby
When you walk in to the lobby, look for the brightly colored signs directing you to the Veneration Kids Registration table. Here you will be asked for some information about your family (names, phone number, child’s birthdate and grade if applicable, and any food allergies or medical needs you want us to know about) and we will get your family registered. You will receive a printed name tag for each child and a pick-up slip for the adults, and then we will walk you back to your child’s classroom.
In The Classroom
At the classroom, your child will be greeted by their leaders and welcomed in to the class. The leaders will also ask you if your child is allowed to have a snack and if they have any food allergies. After saying goodbye, you can head to the sanctuary! If your child needs you during the worship service, we will text you at the phone number you gave us when you registered your family.
While you are worshipping with us in the sanctuary
If your child is in our Infant or Toddler classroom, they will spend their time playing and interacting with their leaders, perhaps interspersed with a snack, bottle, or nap. We use Orange curriculum for every other classroom. After a couple of worship songs, your child will watch a Bible story lesson on video, followed up with a variety of age-appropriate activities, crafts, and games that each reinforce and review the Bible lesson. They will usually have a snack of goldfish crackers and water, or an allergy-friendly snack for children with food allergies. Our curriculum provides a mix of activities that appeal to different learning styles - large movement, creativity, role-playing and re-enactment, connecting through discussion, exploring through hands-on and sensory play, and reflection during prayer time.
Picking children up after church
When service ends, you’ll head back to the classrooms to pick your child up! You will need to show their leaders the pick-up slip that you received at check-in. If you misplace your pick-up slip, you will need to show photo ID that matches the name of an adult in the household that you provided when you registered your family. We ask that only adults pick children up from class, not older siblings.
