Kid's Safety First

In Kids Ministry we are very aware of how precious children are. They are a special gift sent to us straight from Heaven. Because we know we are working with your little angels, we do everything we can to ensure that they are safe and sound so you can rest easy and engage in worship and service, gleaning everything that the Lord has for you.

All of our Kids Ministry rooms are equipped with safety features, from smoke alarms and door locks to band aids. We ensure safety in the bathrooms by only allowing adult females to change diapers and monitor the bathrooms. But there may be nothing we do that is more important than our drop off and pick procedures. Here at Valley Family Church we want you to feel comfortable and safe. We have a check in procedure where our smiling volunteers greet each family and record their pick up number from the Parent Pick up Receipt (PPR). This number is used if the parent is needed to come to the room at any time during the service. If a parent is needed, their number will be displayed on the screens in all of our service areas.

When it comes time to check out, every parent needs to show their PPR and a volunteer ensures that the numbers match on the PPR and the child’s name tag. There is no exception to this. If a Pastor or staff member comes to pick up their children, they must show their PPR. If a volunteer’s spouse or best friend picks up a child, they too must show their PPR. We do this to ensure that people who are watching from the halls and may not know they are friends or employees can see this check being made. Kids are God’s gift and we endeavor not only to come along side in teaching them, but to first and foremost ensure that they are safe.
