SUNDAY MORNING CHECK-OUT

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

  • It is Asbury’s desire that families participate in worship together. Elementary children may attend one worship service at Asbury and then attend the main worship service with you. We have “big church kits” full of fun, quiet activities to help keep them busy as they learn to worship as the body of Christ.
  • All AsburyKids staff are fully trained in CPR and first aid.
  • We will notify parents if there is an emergency situation by utilizing the phone number on your child’s sticker/classroom roster.
  • Please make sure that all contact numbers on file are up to date and correct in case we need to notify you.
  • In the event an evacuation or shelter situation arises, AsburyKids staff will ensure your child is taken to the appropriate pre-designated location.
  • Due to allergy concerns, children ages 2 and older may not bring a snack with them to their classrooms. Also, we are unable to serve snacks on a weekly basis, however, if there is an exception, signs will be posted to let you know the type of snack that will be served.


TIPS FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD ROOMS

  • Please take note that classrooms may change during your child’s first two years based on how rapidly their development changes. After that, your child will be in the same classroom for the entire year from age 2 and up.
  • Each classroom has one staff member that will be there every week. In addition, there are 2-4 volunteers helping in each room. Please introduce yourself and your child on the first Sunday. Also, feel free to take as much time as needed to discuss any information the AsburyKids team may need to know in order to take the best care of your child.


WHAT TO BRING FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD ROOMS

  • Infants: Diaper bag (with your new bag tag), bottle with water and formula or milk, sippy cup if they need one with water only, favorite blanket or comfort item, pacifier, diapers and a change of clothes.
  • Toddlers: Diaper bag (with your new bag tag), favorite comfort item, diapers and a change of clothes.
  • Preschoolers*: Pull-ups and change of clothes if potty training. Any emergency medication such as inhalers or EpiPens must have a medical release on file for the teacher to administer the medication to the child.
  • *We cannot change diapers or clothes for kids ages 4 and up. We will text message the parent if there is an accident. Children with special needs are an exception as long as there is a written consent form from a parent on file. 


FOOD and BEVERAGE FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD ROOMS

  • We can only bottle feed your infant formula or milk that you provide. We do have bottle warmers in our classrooms.
  • Please fill sippy cups with water only.
  • Nursing moms may utilize their child’s classroom or enjoy the privacy of our Nursing Rooms located near the Sanctuary on both the north and south ends of our building.

  • For toddlers in the Foxes Classrooms, we provide plain Cheerios as a snack.
