Childcare Policies

All children must be pre-registered with Discipleship classes and be between the ages of 1 year – 6th grade.
A waiver form is required for every child each session.
We do not provide childcare for children with special needs.
We will not accept children before 6:45pm.
Strollers and baby carriers are not allowed to be left in the classroom or the hallways but can be kept in the KP Discovery office and workroom.
We do not prepare bottles. All bottles must be mixed and warmed when dropping the child off. We do not feed babies baby food.
Children will wash their hands or use hand sanitizer when entering the classroom.
Snacks will be provided by Discipleship classes. Please alert workers of any allergies.
Children will not be permitted to bring food of any kind into the classroom.
Should an emergency arise, the parent will be paged/sent a text message or an administrator will ask the parent to come to the child’s classroom.
All children age 3 or older must be potty trained. If a child 3 years of age or older has an “accident” the parent must come to change him/her.
The KidPak Game Room was designed for children 5 years old and older; therefore no one under the age of 5 will be permitted.
We are unable to care for sick children or administer medication.
No electronics (this includes laptops, iPads, AirPods, iPods, Nintendo Switch, cellphones, etc.) or toys. We are not responsible for any stolen or damaged property.
Children must be picked up immediately following class dismissal.
The sticker must be presented in order to pick up the children.
For the safety of our children, only Discipleship class workers are allowed in the classroom. Parents or siblings will not be permitted to enter the classroom for any reason.
We retain the right to terminate childcare due to excessive classroom disruption, behavior problems, failure to comply with the above policies, etc.
