NEW ISBC PRESCHOOL CHECK-IN 

Dear ISBC Parents of Preschoolers,

We’re excited to announce a new check-in policy beginning on Sunday, February 15, 2015 using ACS.  As a rule, ISBC Preschool Ministry is open to accept children 15 minutes prior to each worship service.  Children being dropped off in ISBC Preschool Ministry must be accompanied by an adult.  In order for a child to be properly cared for, we must have adequate information prior to the parent leaving ISBC Preschool Area. 

Detailed Instructions for Check-In will be provided by Sunday, February 8, 2015 in the following two manners:  A letter will be distributed to all Parents of Preschoolers, and a video announcement will be done both worship hours including step by step check-in procedures.

Note for Parents of Infants:  Each parent must write in the “Here’s What I Need Today” information on the Infant white board located inside the Infant Room on the wall prior to leaving a child.  With several children in the room, this information is crucial for keeping separate information and instructions on each child and ensuring the transition between services is as smooth as possible between caregivers.  While it may take a few minutes to complete, it is well worth the time so we have adequate information.

Detailed Instructions for Pick-Up:

We would like to ask that only 1 adult(parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, etc.) come to pick up the child.

              Please give the identification tag to the caregiver of your child’s class.

Open Door Times:

Our ministry to families begins with the needs of children, and having a predictable routine is a necessity for a preschooler.  We strive to maintain the calmness of the classrooms by limiting drop off’s after services have begun.  Observing “closed doors” allows our teachers to complete their lessons without interruption so teaching time is maximized.

For infants and toddlers, a door that is continually opened and closed can distress a child-they see an open door and expect their parents to come through.  This can be especially upsetting to a child, especially if he/she’s is already fussy or is experiencing separation anxiety.

Our “open door” times are as follows:

Sunday’s                                           Wednesday nights

9:15 am – 10:00 am                        5:45 pm – 6:10 pm

10:45 am – 11:15 am

5:45 pm – 6:10 pm

If you need to see your child or drop off your child during closed door times, please check-in at the nursery desk.  A ISBC Security member or staff member will be glad to go back and check on your child or drop them off in their class. 

Exceptions to the Policy

Guests

A parent who has been paged for any reason

A nursing mother

Emergencies

In order for any Preschool Ministry to be effective, guidelines must be established and closely followed.  If the guidelines are ignored or the enforcement of them is inconsistent, then those we serve will lose faith in our ability to care for their children, and fewer lives will be impacted for God’s Kingdom.

Because we want our Preschool Ministry to be above reproach we have established these new guidelines.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact Jeralyn or Cyrena.
