KID FAQS

In order to safety and securely check-in of all kids at SCC, parents or guardians need to accompany their kids to their classrooms to fill out some brief paperwork and meet the teachers before they attend class for the first time. You’ll probably want to plan about 10 extra minutes to visit the kid's areas the first time you check them in. 

It is at this time that you should let the teachers know if your child has any special needs or dietary restrictions. 

To protect your baby’s skin, we want to use your diaper products. Please be sure to stock your bag with diapers, wipes, burp cloths, or whatever it is that your baby may need while in the care of our nursery workers. 

When you check-in your kids, please indicate all food allergies.

At check-in to the nursery, please indicate when you expect your baby to eat and include any special instructions we’ll need to know.

Common preschool snacks include goldfish and animal crackers.

Student ministry snacks might include goldfish, Doritos, Lays chips,  or Oreos. 

Many of our volunteers are parents, grandparents, or family members of our kids or have had their children go through the SCC student ministry themselves. 

When people sign up or volunteer, they fill out a background information form that the office staff runs to ensure our students are in a safe and encouraging environment.

Sometimes a child just needs to see their parents and that's OK!

If a parent or guardian is needed at any time during our service one of our volunteers will come into the adult auditorium and take you back to your child. 

To protect the health of all in attendance, children who show signs or symptoms of fever or any other contagious disease are not accepted into our classrooms.

We have first aid kits in all of our rooms and many of our volunteers are CPR certified.

Kids in the nursery, toddler, and preschool classrooms are promoted to the next class around their birthday, according to their age. The transition from nursery to toddler is determined on a case by case basis by how talkative or mobile the child is. 

Kindergarten and up aged students are promoted to the next class at the beginning of the school year.

Serving students is very rewarding. People can volunteer on a weekly, monthly, or bi-weekly rotation. We are flexible, and love to have people experience what it's like to share their faith with students.

Lessons and curriculum are provided to all volunteers. This means the lessons are pre-written and shared with volunteers ahead of time. As a volunteer, you have a lot of flexibility and activity options ranging from discussion questions, science experiments, Bible reading, games, and more. As a teacher, you can choose which activities would be the best fit for you/your group; however, you do not have to create the lessons from scratch. 
 

If you are interested in serving, you can let our pre-school director or youth minister know. They will run a background check and discuss with you which area you would most like to serve. They will also coordinate a schedule that could work best for you.
