Wednesday night Kids Ministry programs have resumed for the Winter-Spring 2024 semester! Fun, games, friends and Bible study! The Joy Club kids (ages 4-Kindergarten) will continue to use the GO! curriculum this semester. Our unit for March will be “Maisy’s Easter Surprise”.

Easter is coming and Maisy the Mailbox has a package for the preschoolers. Whenever Maisy lights up, it means a new Easter surprise has arrived. Each surprise helps the preschoolers learn about and celebrate Jesus, the risen Savior. Best of all, as the stories unfold, the preschool kids will discover the greatest surprise of all time—“He is not here! He has risen, just as He said He would.”

If you have any questions about Joy Club or Early Childhood Ministry, please contact our Early Childhood Director, Shauna Willett: shauna.willett@fellowshipwaco.org.

Remember, you can come early to purchase a pizza dinner for your family beginning at 5:45 p.m.!

(Please Note: Wednesday evening childcare for ages 0-3 is available for parents who are participating in Bible Study groups or volunteering in Ministry Programs.)

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.
