Early Childhood

Schedule:
The nursery is open from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. There is a Sunday School time for children, beginning when they are toddlers.

Curriculum:

• Frogs and Fish – Exploring the World God Made
  We are learning about creation, family, and Jesus.

  We are learning about Jesus’ life, death and resurrection and our need to trust him.
• Giraffes, Lions and Crocodiles – Jesus Is God
  We encounter Jesus through his powerful signs and wonders.

Check-In Procedure:
If you are not sure where your child’s room is, we will be glad to help you; come to the Early Childhood Office, room 103. Look for the Noah’s Ark symbol to guide you. For your protection and ours, we use a security system. All parents (visitors and Covenant members) will be given a security keychain when dropping off children in their designated room. Parents must show the security tag to the caregiver to pick up each child. Please do not ask caregivers to accept or release children without using the security system. Please note:

• Please mark all of your child’s belongings with his or her name.
• Pagers are also available from the coordinators. We encourage parents new to Covenant and those with newborns to take a pager. Pagers must be returned before picking up children. We will page you or come to get you if your child is inconsolable for more than a few minutes. Remember, when parents leave some unhappiness is normal, and most children are settled in and playing within a few minutes.
• Covenant will provide a snack of Ritz crackers or goldfish during most events.
• Please let our staff know of any food allergies.
• We are a “peanut-free” environment. NO PEANUT PRODUCTS, or ANY unapproved outside food.
