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.

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.

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.

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.

We offer baby dedication throughout the year, but will typically be in March and September. Dates will be posted on the church website.

Parents are asked NOT to bring their child to the preschool area if ANY of the following conditions exist: - Temperature of 100.4 degrees orally or greater in the later 24 hours - Vomiting - Diarrhea in the last 24 hours -Severe coughing - Significant persistent nasal drainage which is green or yellow in color - Common cold - Sore throat - Pink eye or eye infection - Head lice - Unusual fatigue or irritability - Any unexplained lesions - Open skin lesions -Any symptom of infectious childhood disease

If your child has an allergy, please make sure that our staff knows. If it is your child's first time, we will make a note on their name sticker. If they have come before, a note will be printed on their name sticker. A list of children with food allergies are displayed in every classroom.

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

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.

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

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)

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.

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.

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.
