What to Bring
When packing a diaper bag for your child, please include
the following items:
- Two or three disposable diapers.
No cloth diapers, please.
- Pacifier or other item, should
your child need it for security.
- A complete change of clothes
in case your child would require that.
Please label all personal items with
your child's first and last name before arriving at your
child's class. This helps us keep track of your child's
items.
Your Child's Health
We operate a well-baby program. For the protection of all
the children in our ministry we cannot accept a child with
a runny nose, fresh cold (four days or less), fever,
rash, persistent cough, diarrhea or any other signs of illness.
We request that you not place your child in the program
while they are at risk of exposing other children. Thank
you in advance for helping us keep our Tiny Town program
a healthy place for all.
When You Arrive to Tiny Town
A leader will meet you at the check-in area to receive
your child, your check in slip, and any other necessary
items. Please check in and note any information that
will help in caring for your child such as feeding times,
sleeping times, allergies and special needs.
If you are needed to return to your child's classroom,
you will be paged. The pager will vibrate, so please hold
or wear the pager at all times.
Snacks
Snacks are provided for the children once they graduate
to the Crawler classroom. The food items consist of water
and Cheerios or Fishy Crackers for our new walkers through
2 year olds. If your child has a food allergy, please
inform the leader when you check in your child
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 with the
ability of the children in mind.
Saying Good-bye
After you have completed the check-in process, simply wave
a quick good-bye and leave for the worship service. As
you know, it is normal for little ones to cry when leaving
a parent. This does not last long, and separation becomes
easier over time. Our leaders will immediately try to
create interest in a toy or activity and give assurance
that you will return after the service is completed.
If your child cries for an extended period of time of
10 minutes, we will page you.
Pick-up Procedures
When you are ready to pick up your child you may go to
any check in station to return your pager and receive
your check out slip. Please have your check out slip
ready to give to the Tiny Town leaders when you go to
the Tiny Town station. We ask that you make sure all
your child's personal items have been returned to you
before you leave the premises. Lost and found items will
be retained for a short time. Items not claimed after
one month will be donated to a charitable organization.

So what do they learn in Tiny Town?
• Starting with the infant/toddler rooms
Christ's love for children is demonstrated by providing a safe and clean environment in which the children can sing and play.
• Two- and three-year-olds
begin learning Bible stories, as well as the concepts of friendship and helping by observing the actions of their small-group leader.
• Four- and five-year-olds
expand their Bible knowledge during large group programs that include relevant Bible teaching, creative drama and high-energy Tiny Town music.
