RKIDS

What to Bring (And Not Bring)

Be sure to pack diapers, sippy cups, and a change of clothes, along with anything that might help in soothing your child if needed (blanket, pacifier, etc.). Please label any personal items that are brought into the classroom.

Please refrain from bringing any personal toys into the room, as those items can often lead to conflicts in sharing.

Diapers + Potty Training

All diaper changing is done by an adult female volunteer in the BABIES room. We are happy to assist with any toddlers who are potty training. If you do not want the RKIDS volunteer to change your child’s diaper, we are happy to page you during the gathering if needed.

Snacks

We offer cheerios to babies who can eat solids and we are happy to feed babies their provided bottles and/or snacks (must be nut free) as requested by parents. If you do not want your child to have a snack, or if you are going to provide your own, please be sure to talk with the room volunteer when dropping off your baby.

Curriculum

We begin teaching with a structured curriculum in our LITTLES room (2–5-years old). Babies will receive intentional care, while participating in free play with fun, age appropriate toys and books.

What To Expect

We use a wonderful curriculum called The Gospel Project for Kids. This curriculum takes children chronologically through the Bible, connecting the dots to reveal the overarching narrative of Scripture while showing how every story in the Bible points to Jesus. Our LITTLES have fun forming community and friendships through free play and activities that introduce the theme for each week’s lesson. They will participate in engaging songs and a weekly Bible lesson.

Snacks

We serve veggie straws and water weekly. If your child has an allergy, or if you prefer your child not be served a snack, please communicate that with the room volunteer when dropping off your child.

Bathrooms And Potty Training

We ask that parents take their children to the bathroom prior to dropping them off in the room. If your child needs to use the bathroom, an adult female volunteer will walk your child to the bathrooms located in the RKIDS area. She will stand outside of the bathroom and will provide basic assistance, as needed, for children who are potty training. If your child is potty training, please bring a change of clothes in case of an accident. If your child is still in diapers or pull-ups, please provide extra for necessary changes. If needed, an adult female volunteer will change them.

What NOT To Bring

We request that LITTLES not bring any personal toys into the room, as this can sometimes lead to conflict in sharing with other kids.

What To Expect

We use a curriculum called The Gospel Project for Kids. This curriculum takes children on a Christ centered, chronological journey through scripture. Children will discover how the gospel unfolds from Genesis to Revelation. BIGS participate in worship during the main gathering with their family members prior to being excused to the BIGS room where they will participate in exciting songs, a gospel centered lesson, and engage in interest-based play in the Reading Nook, Craft Corner, Building Zone, or Game Central. Snacks are not served in the BIGS room.

Bathrooms

We request that parents take their children to the bathroom before the gathering. However, if children need to go to the bathroom while in the BIGS room, an adult female volunteer will walk them to the RKIDS bathrooms, wait until they are finished, and walk them back to the BIGS room.
