4. Is childcare provided?
Yes. Preschool Crash is for children from birth to four years of age. We meet in the Chapel, upstairs in the southwest-most room of the building. Preschool Crash focuses on early fundamentals of church and our church family while always emphasizing the love of Jesus Christ. Each week our children will experience Jesus through music, art, activity, reading, and practice. Crash Preschool is still looking for volunteers to assist in the classroom. Volunteers will rotate every 5 to 6 weeks. Anita Walker is the Director and volunteers will assist her. Parents, we ask that you please bring a snack and drink for your preschooler to enjoy at Preschool Crash each week. We ask that you mark your child's belongings with a permanent marker and notify a teacher of any allergies. We have a security sign-in process that requires the same person who drops off the preschooler to pick up the preschooler. You may drop off your preschooler at 5:55 and please pick them up immediately after the service ends. Please pray for our preschoolers and Preschool Crash - they are our little lambs.
