Frequently Asked Questions

Take a tour, see the rooms, and meet the teachers. Kids are welcome to try it out and take little steps to feel more comfortable. You can bring your child in, and our team will assist with getting them settled. If it’s not working out, we’ll let you know via text.

WE welcome every student every Sunday. Guests are treated like regulars and included here. Your child does not need a religious upbringing to feel comfortable at WE Kids!

You can pre-register HERE or register on the day of your first visit. Your contact information ensures we can contact you in an emergency and be aware of any medical notes. On your first Sunday, we’ll greet and meet you, learn your kids’ names, and take a short tour to help you get familiar with the area. Parents can observe their kids in their rooms before heading to worship.

Our practice at WE Kids is to go with what works and adjust when it doesn’t. An older sibling is always welcome to attend a class with a younger sibling until they feel comfortable.
Our curriculum is digitally based, and each room has dozens of Bibles. Kids are welcome to bring their own, but Bibles are not required. Third-grade students receive a Bible from the church at the start of the school year.
If there’s one thing we think we might be pretty good at, it’s seeing each kid as a unique and incredible creation. It’s more about meeting your kids’ needs than getting them to behave. We’re always happy to contact you to learn how we can do better when needed and keep you updated on incidents.
WE follow standard child-to-adult ratios and room-cleaning practices. Additionally, safety and security monitors constantly walk the halls and watch exits. Adult teachers must have a background check certification prior to teaching.
We’ll care for your new child as soon as you’re ready. You are also welcome to nurse and watch the sermon on the screen in the nursery for a portion of worship.
