Question 1

What do we do when we arrive?

Accepted Answer

On your first Sunday, come to the Preschool desk and we will have you fill out a registration form to add your baby to the computer system. We will give you a name tag for your baby and a security tag to pick them up. The next week, your baby will be in the computer and someone from the preschool desk will show you have to check them in.

Question 2

What do I bring for my child?

Accepted Answer

Items you can bring for your child include diapers or extra underwear if potty training, an extra pair of clothes, wipes, labeled bottles or sippy cups, and/or pacifiers.

Question 3

What happens if my child is crying and needs me?

Accepted Answer

If your child is upset, we first try to console them by walking in the halls or pushing them in the stroller. If they are still not settled, we will text the number we have on file, as well as, put the last four digits on the screens in the worship center.

Question 4

Will my child eat a snack during service?

During the 11:00 hour, snacks (puffs or wafer crackers) will be provided for toddlers through K classes. Due to allergies we strive to be a peanut free facility.

A list of children with food allergies are displayed in every classroom.

Question 8

What if my child has special needs?

Accepted Answer

In John 9:1-3, Jesus healed the blind man and told the people that this man was born blind so that God’s mighty works could be shone to all. This scripture is the foundation for our ministry entitled “STARS". In STARS, our mission is to welcome your entire family into a loving, encouraging and bible-based fellowship of believers. We seek to make special needs families feel welcome here at CFBC by providing a safe environment for their family members to share the good news of Jesus Christ with each of them in a way that reaches their hearts and minds. There’s a place for every member of God’s family and we are committed to helping yours find a comfortable place to belong.

The STARS ministry serves ages newborns through elementary ages. We offer a Sunday morning Buddy Program if needed for Children and Youth.  For more information about our STARS ministry, contact Lisa Lovett at llovett@cartersvillefirst.com

Question 9

What happens if there is medical concern?

Accepted Answer

Typically, an injury can be treated with a little TLC. We do have a minor first aide kit in each classroom with band-aides, gauze, and more. Parents will always be told of any accident or injury, no matter how small, when they arrive to pick up their child.

If any medical treatment is given or leaves a mark, an accident report must be filled out by a teacher in the classroom.

Question 10

When can our baby come to his/her preschool room?

Accepted Answer

Although we prefer baby be at least six weeks old, doctors now recommend eight weeks or when baby begin their shots.

Question 11

How do we pick up our child?

Accepted Answer

When you return, please provide the security tag that you received when you checked in. If you lose it, you will be asked to return to the preschool desk and we will give the teacher permission to release your child. If we are unfamiliar with you, we will ask to see your drivers license.

PLEASE NOTE: Only adults are allowed to pick up children (no siblings under 18 may pick up)

Question 12

What are your safety and security procedures in case of fire?

Accepted Answer

Each room has an evacuation route that must be followed. Babies/crawlers/new walkers will be placed in an evacuation bed and wheeled out of the building. Each teacher is required to take their class rolls and retake their attendance when they arrive at their destination. Parents are asked not to take your child while in route to their designated area as this can become very distracting for the teacher. Children may be released as soon as teachers take attendance and the "All Clear" is given. Security stickers will be used the same way to pick up your child.

Question 13

What are the safety and security measures in case the building goes under lock down?

Accepted Answer

Every classroom is notified that we are locked down. Teachers will close & lock the upper portion of their doors (lower doors are always locked). Children will be moved into the bathrooms with their teachers until a staff or security team member unlocks the door and give them the "all clear". Children may be released at that time.

Depending on the type of emergency, the main entrance doors to the preschool area will close and lock. They can be opened by the Staff and Security Team.

Question 14

Can parents take a tour of the Preschool area and Mother's Room?

Accepted Answer

We will gladly give a tour of the Preschool Area. Please contact Jamie Azar, our Preschool Ministry Director, and she will schedule that with you.

The mother's room is available anytime the church is open. We have a screen to watch the service and snacks for moms to enjoy. Dads are not allowed in the mother's room.

Question 15

How can someone reserve The Treehouse for an event?

Accepted Answer
