Nursery

• All children from birth thru 30 months will be in our newly renovated nursery rooms.  These rooms are equipped with developmentally appropriate toys and gear to care for your little ones.  Classes will have a low child to adult ratio (1:2 or 1:3) to ensure proper supervision and care is given to the little ones. Each class will have a short lesson introducing a word for their growing vocabulary.  These lessons will take them on a journey through the days of creation using our God of Wonders curriculum.  Email [email protected] for a sample.

Toddlers

• Children in this age will also be in one of the newly renovated rooms that provides a welcoming environment for them to explore.  These little ones are changing at such a fast rate and this structured environment provides a way for them to grow in the Lord!  Classes will have a 1:5 ratio as these kiddos still need supervision and guidance even in play time.  The teachers will take them through a simplified Generations of Grace curriculum which cycles the bible in 3 years. This will be repeated throughout the remainder of their time in the children’s ministry.

Preschool through 6th grade

• As the children grow, the ratios will increase as the need for care changes.  Our younger elementary classes have a 1:7 ratio while the older elementary classes have a 1:10 ratio.  These classes are led by passionate teachers who love God’s Word, taking them on a journey through the Bible with the Generations of Grace curriculum.
