LEARN GOD’S STORY, LOVE GOD’S STORY, LIVE IN GOD’S STORY

The mission of Cornerstone kids is to partner with families to help kids learn God’s story, love God’s story, and live in God’s story through gospel-centered teaching, prayer-rich environments, and meaningful peer and adult connections. 

SUNDAY MORNINGS | 9:15 AM, and 11:00 AM

Arrival

When you arrive, check your child(ren) in using the iPads in the lobby. Place their name tag on them and keep the parent code for pickup. Check your child’s tag to see what room to take them to. If the room is incorrect, notify a children’s volunteer so we can get it changed.

Drop-off

If your child is 6 weeks-preschool (5 years) you may drop them off 15 minutes before the start of service. There must be TWO adults present in the room before you drop off. Notify Aubrey Riner or Aubrey Jimerson if there are not. If you have a diaper bag or bottles to leave, please make sure they are labeled with your child’s name. If they are not, please ask for them to be labeled at drop-off. If your child is in Kindergarten-5th grade they will go into service with you and be dismissed after worship.

Pick-up

All parents will pick-up from the classrooms. The parent code is required for child pick-up. If you misplace it, you will need to go to the iPad and reprint a child’s tag in order to pick them up. This is for your child’s safety and must always be followed.

Crying Policy

We will text you if your child had been crying consistently for 5 minutes. Let your teacher know if your time preference is different and we will make note.

Family Room

We have a family room located to the right of the sanctuary. This is for parents use at any time. There are toys, rocking chairs, and a changing table inside this room. There are also speakers that will be streaming the service so you can still hear.

Nursing Mother’s Rooms

We have two nursing mother’s rooms. One is located inside the sanctuary behind the sound booth. The other is in the kid’s hallway (back left). These both have changing tables, rocking chairs, and diapers/wipes for our moms and babies to use.

Diaper Changing

Adult females in the room will change diapers as needed. If you would like to be contacted to be the one to do this, let the teacher know. We will use diapers/wipes that we have in the classroom unless the parent preference is to use theirs. Parents must communicate this with volunteers.

Food Allergies

All of our classrooms have a time for snack. If your child has an allergy, it should be noted on their name tag. If it is not, please contact Aubrey Riner or Aubrey Jimerson. There are also allergy stickers you may put on your child, if you wish. They are located at the Welcome desk. If your child needs to bring your own snack, we ask that you double check with Aubrey Riner or Aubrey Jimerson. We have many allergies and want to keep all our kids safe!

Discipline

We do not discipline children in our care. If a child is not making good choices we will give them a verbal warning, separate or relate the child within the same room, and/or contact a parent, if needed.

Well Child Policy

Our desire is to protect all children and volunteers from exposure to illness. We appreciate your cooperation in helping maintain a healthy ministry environment. If your child has persistent coughing, sneezing, runny nose/eyes, stomach issues/vomiting, earache, diarrhea, a fever (100.4), or a rash (except a diaper rash) we ask that they not be dropped off in a classroom. If a child shows any of these symptoms while in our care, they will be isolated while a parent is contacted to pick them up. In the case of children with allergies who may be exhibiting some of these symptoms, exceptions will be made.

Injuries

There are first aide kits located in every classroom to treat minor injuries. Parents will be notified for an injury resulting in blood, a physical mark, and/or ANY head injury. The volunteers present will fill out an incident report form that we will go over with the parents, who will sign. This form will stay at Cornerstone and can be copied and sent with families upon request.

Medication

We will NOT administer any mediation to your child besides an EpiPen in the case of a severe allergy. The EpiPen will be kept up high, away from children and only be used when necessary.

Curriculum

Our church uses an Anglican Children’s Curriculum called God’s Big Story. Our children hear/read Bible stories, engage in hands-on activities related to the story, sing, pray, and play together. Our older kids begin to memorize scripture and catechesis as part of their teachings. All classrooms have snack, which is posted outside the classroom each week and typically do not change.

Special Needs Ministry

We want to always be inclusive with our classrooms and make accommodations to meet all children’s needs. We also want a space for children to go if they need a break from the traditional classroom. At the second service, we have a space that is designed to have less children, and is sensory friendly. Two adults will be available at this service if this space is needed. Parents are also welcome to utilize it with their children. Please see a Children’s Team Lead if you are needing access to that space or have questions. If your child needs extra support while in class, we will pair them with a buddy to help them learn and be successful!
