Treehouse

Treehouse is a preschool program provided on Sundays during the 10:00 am Community Life time, as well as during the 11:00 am service. Geared for children 2 - 5 years old, Treehouse has songs, play time, learning and snacks.  In the Children’s Wing, straight through the door from the lobby, then look for the doors on the left.

Paging System
Upon checking in your child with an identification sticker, you will keep the parent’s slip with a number for your child. That number will be shown on the screen in the worship space to alert you during the service if your child needs you.

Treehouse Tips:

  • The more consistently your child is involved in Treehouse, the more comfortable he/she will feel.
  • It is not unusual for preschoolers to cry immediately after parents leave, but they usually calm down. We will not let your baby cry longer than 5-10 minutes without informing you.
  • You can inform the Treehouse caregivers of any special instructions, allergies, whether or not you’d like us to change your child’s diaper, etc. on the identification sticker at the entrance of the Children’s Wing. Please fill this out each week so that we can provide the best care possible for your child.
  • For your child’s safety, we only release him/her to the authorized parent returning the parent’s slip matching the child’s identification sticker.

Please remember, we cannot admit any sick child into Treehouse.

SAFETY:

Volunteers wash toys regularly. They are trained to wash their hands after diaper changing and after touching any body fluids on a child. Care is taken to look for developmental needs of children so they know their level of play, etc.

We hope your little one has a fun time with our community this year and we encourage you to talk to us if you ever have any questions or ideas.
