Also, my calling and compassion for children, my experience and my training has been an asset. We have not set particular policies, but have set some guidelines. First, I would make sure all workers are screened and have a background check run on them to protect our children. A list of responsibilities for workers is a must. Also, an interview by the children's worship director or other children's worker supervisor or minister is important.
School teachers are a great resource for teachers.
A workshop should be scheduled to train workers. We have a lot of activity-based teaching and music in our children's worship. All music is bible-based and upbeat and fun for children. We believe in presenting the Gospel every service, but not in a manipulative way. We want to make it clear and we want the children to accept Christ, using their own words and in a non-pressure way.
