We do not have any paid staff working in our program. It is our policy to match new leaders with experienced leaders until they feel comfortable with the children and the process. We strive for two leaders each Sunday for the K-5 group, one leader for the preschoolers, and one or two for the middle school depending on their activity. Leaders are given detailed session plans to follow, with specific instructions and background information. Sometimes children are not ready to go to a class until they have spent some time at the church in the company of their parents.
Children are certainly welcome to remain in the sanctuary until they are more comfortable here.
Parents may also accompany their child to class for several sessions, if that is necessary. Nursery care is available for children under the age of 3. Some preschoolers choose to remain in the nursery a little longer, but generally once they try Sunday school they enjoy it very much. Children are expected to attend Sunday School or remain with their parents in the sanctuary once they reach kindergarten age. The curriculum materials are available at the church in the Religious Education room, and can be reviewed at any time.
