Shauna Willett
Early Childhood Director
In order to give our regular volunteers a break this summer, all Kids Ministry and Early Childhood classes will meet during second service only (10:45 a.m.) during the month of July. We appreciate our Kids Ministry volunteers and the time that they put into serving so very much! If you would be willing to serve on a temporary basis this summer or are interested in serving in the fall, please visit the SERVE page on our website or contact one of our Ministry Leaders: Shauna Willett (Early Childhood) at shauna.willett@fellowshipwaco.org, or Jennifer Ables (Kids Ministry Director) at jennifer.ables@fellowshipwaco.org.
Every year, Promotion Sunday is an exciting day, as our kids and students transition into the next age group in Ministry. On August 10, children and students will promote to the class that represents the grade they will enter in Fall 2025. Early Childhood Kindergartners who are entering 1st grade this fall will move up to the Elementary Ministry. We're looking forward to an exciting time of celebrating these promotions with you! If you have any questions about which class your child should attend, please check with our Kids Welcome Desk volunteers, or email Shauna Willett, Early Childhood Director, at shauna.willett@fellowshipwaco.org.

WEDNESDAY EVENINGS
Wednesday evening programming for Early Childhood is available during the fall and spring semesters. Ages 4-Kindergarten participate in Joy Club. Wednesday Evening Childcare is provided for children birth-3yrs for those participating in Bible studies or serving in a Ministry role.
Our Purpose
Our desire is to create a warm, loving and safe environment for children. On your child's first visit, please visit the Fellowship Kids Welcome Desk, where you will be asked to fill out a Kids Connect card. This provides our staff and volunteers with valuable information, including any special needs your child may have. Each subsequent visit, you will need to check-in your child at one of our check-in stations or kiosks. If you have trouble with the check-in process, or trouble printing your child's tag, stop by the Fellowship Kids Check-In desk. Our volunteers will be happy to assist you!
Equipment & Safety
Cribs and equipment are kept sanitary. Childcare staff use rubber gloves for diaper changes and are required to wash hands with antibiotic soap or use hand sanitizer after wiping noses or changing diapers. For your child's care and safety, there are a minimum of two adults in every room.
How You Can Help
Please label items you bring. Include a pacifier or security item and a change of clothes (if potty training). When leaving your child, tell them in a loving voice that you are going but will soon be back. If your child continues to be upset for more than 15 minutes, we will inform you.
Health Policies
With cooperation from our parents we operate a "well-child" ministry. For the protection of all children and teachers, we cannot accept a child in the classroom with any of the following symptoms:
- fever (free for 24 hours)
- vomiting and/or diarrhea
- persistent cough or sore throat
- communicable diseases
- contagious rashes or infections
- colored discharge from nose or eyes
Promotions
- Babies in the Nursery promote based on ability to walk or the parents' preference.
- One-year-olds through grade school promote once a year in August based on the child's age by the following September 1st.
