Early Childhood

We love kids! During your children’s time with Council Tree Kids, they will learn about Jesus, meet friends, and experience God, all while having fun in a safe setting created just for them. Just as the adult worship service has been designed specifically for you, so has this time been created just for your child.

We recognize the greatest influence on a child’s life is their family and what happens at home. Council Tree Kids is here to partner with you through care, special memory making events, and additional take home discipleship tools. Let us know how we can best partner with you!

Sundays at 9 and at 10: 

  • Ages newborn to 2 years old will meet in our Toddler Nursery with lead teacher Pamela

    • Each week is full of objects for toddlers to touch, fun and wiggly activities to get them moving, and real-life situations to which they can relate. 

    • Toddlers will begin to discover that God loves them, and Jesus wants to be their friends forever.

  • Ages 3 (and potty trained) will join our Preschool Class with lead teacher Tian

    • We think the Bible is exciting, worship can be fun and good leader’s care.

    • Your preschooler will discover how God’s Message fits into their life. They will learn how talk to God, and they will find friendships that last.

    • Repetition is important developmentally when you are under 5, so our toddlers and preschoolers will continue to spend a month each on several different themes.

CHECKING-IN

We are so excited to welcome your family! When you arrive, you will see a Check- In desk mid-way down our main hallway.  We will check your kids in safely with a profile linked to your telephone number. If there are any issues, you will be contacted via text during the service. You and your child will also have unique, matching safety stickers that you must present in order to pick up your child.

We invite all children to worship with their families for the first portion of the service. After we share in some community life and worship, we will invite the children to participate in engaging and fun worship experiences designed just for them. We can’t wait to worship with you and your family.

INFANTS

Mothers are welcome to use our nursing room, available across the hall from the women’s bathroom and kitchen. A live audio feed of the weekend service can be heard here, so moms won’t miss a thing!

HEALTH & SAFETY POLICIES

Illness:

We realize that it seems some children have a runny nose from October through May, but for the well-being of all of our children and staff, we ask you not to bring your child to the nursery if they’ve shown any of the following symptoms within the past 24 hours:

  • Fever

  • Diarrhea

  • Vomiting

  • Green/yellow discharge from the nose

  • Persistent cough

  • Rash anywhere on the body

Child-size toilets are available as well as changing facilities in both early childhood classrooms. Trained volunteers will assist with these needs yet parents will be notified if changing of diapers or clothing is needed.

CLEANING

All of our classrooms and nurseries are cleaned thoroughly and disinfected a minimum of once a week and wiped down after each use.
