Our toddler program welcomes little ones aged 2-3 years. Our trained staff take turns serving 1-2 times per month. Our adult and high school volunteers must all fill-out a volunteer application, be trained and pass a background check. Our toys are washed and sanitized on a regular basis and are always age-appropriate and safe. Our children eat a snack of goldfish crackers or animal crackers and water each Sunday.

 

To check in, all parents are required to sign their child in and out and take a call # tag. If we should need you during the worship gathering we put your call # up on the screen so that you can return and assist your child. You must also bring your call number back when you pick up your child.

 

While your child is with us in the toddler program our goal is to provide a safe and fun environment. We will engage your child in live and interactive Bible teaching and help reinforce what we learn through fun games and crafts. If parents are nervous about leaving their child, they are invited to stay with us in the toddler room to help their child adjust and to observe what we are all about in the toddler program.

 

Our toddler bathroom is located inside of our classroom and it is helpful when parents tell us that their child is potty training. We are glad to assist your child in any way that you would like us to. Additionally, we require that only our female volunteers change diapers or assist children in the bathroom. If you are new to GateWay we will ask you if you would like us to change your child/take them to the bathroom or if you would like us to call you in to do so. We want to make sure you and your child have an excellent time with us here in the GateWay toddler program.

 

We look forward to getting to know you and your toddler soon!
