Health Policy
Our policies and procedures are designed for safeguarding all children.
We do not provide any medications while children are in classrooms, except bandages. If a child needs medication, we will ask the parent to come administer it. Epi-pens and inhalers are an exception.
To minimize spreading germs, parents are requested to not bring sick children to church. Parents may be requested to pick up children from their classroom if they have any of the following symptoms:
- nasal discharge (other than minimal, clear nasal discharge)
- any discharge or substance around the eyes
- fever (must be fever-free for 72 hours without fever-reducing medication per CDC guidelines)
- unidentified rash
- inflamed throat and/or mouth
- excessive coughing or sneezing
- head lice
- open wounds without proper bandages
- unusually lethargic or irritable behavior
- contact with anyone who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 in the past 14 days
Children being treated with antibiotics should be on their medication for at least 72 hours before entering one of our classrooms.
Safety Policy
For the safety of our children, we lock the lobby doors during the worship service. You may be asked to show your pick-up tag if you need to enter the area during the time period when doors are locked.
If you do not have the pick-up tag for the child you are picking up, you will be asked to show your driver’s license to the teacher, or they may request another form of verification.
We ensure that all of our volunteers are screened with applications and background checks. This is for the safety of your children. If you desire to visit a classroom, you may be asked to complete a background check authorization, or your visit may be limited or monitored. Thank you for understanding.
