Well Child Policy
If your child is exhibiting any of the following symptoms and it is impossible to keep him home, please keep him with you at church. Kids' Ministry volunteers are authorized to turn away ill children for the sake of other children and caregivers present.
The following symptoms can indicate a contagious illness:
- temperature over 99 degrees within the last 24 hours
- vomiting
- diarrhea or abnormally loose stools
- any undiagnosed rash other than mild heat rash or common diaper rash
- unusual tiredness, pale complexion, irritability or restlessness
- nasal discharge that is yellow or green in color
- a congested or wet cough - one that produces yellow or green discharge
- an eye infection (draining)
- a fresh cold or signs of coming down with one (colds are most contagious the first day)
If your child comes down with a contagious condition (such as chicken pox, measles, pin worms, lice, etc.) and was in the nursery just before or at the onset of the illness, please call the church and let us know. Parents will be notified if their children may have been exposed to a contagious illness. When a child is getting over an illness, please call the Kids Ministry Director for guidelines to determine when he/she is well enough to return to the nursery. To ensure cleanliness, we regularly disinfect all toys and furniture in the children's room. Teachers are also equipped with hand sanitizer, rubber gloves, and disinfectant wipes for properly addressing spills, messes, and other "mistakes".
Kids Church Discipline Policy
If any type of problem arises during the time your child is in kids church, you will be notified immediately. The black box in the sanctuary will flash your family number and you should respond immediately by coming to the Family Matters Room.
Volunteers and Teachers will not punish your child in any way.
