September is just around the corner! As a matter of fact they've already got Halloween decorations up at most stores. Before you know it you'll be hearing Mariah Carey sing "All I want for Christmas is You" over the PA system in the mall over and over and over again.
But I digress.
The beginning of September ushers in a new school year and that means, new and exciting stuff at New Life Kids too! So, here's the scoop!
Nursery (Babies Under 2yrs)- Kangaroo Room
- NEW! Starting September 1st, Check-in for Babies (under 2 years old) will open at the beginning of each service. Opening 9:00am, 10:30am and 12:30pm respectively. And will close 20 minutes after service begins.
- PROMOTION SUNDAY: is Sunday, September 8th. This means that all children who have turned 2 are invited to join our Giraffe class for 2's and 3's on that Sunday.
- We have Parent Cues available for all parents with children under two. It's a quick encouragement for busy parents with small children.
- We have bottle warmers available in our Nursery for parents with small children. To keep the room sanitary please remove shoes before entering carpeted area though.
2's and 3's - Giraffe Room
- NEW! Starting September 1st, Check-in for all kids will now open at the beginning of each service. No longer after worship. Here are the check-in open and closing times at each service: 9:00am-9:20am, 10:30am-10:50am, 12:30pm-12:50pm. Once Check-in is closed our Greeter and Registration teams will no longer be allowed to check-in children.
- NEW! Starting September 1st, Our 2's and 3's classroom (Giraffe Room) will be moving and switching places with the Elephant room (across the hall). This is because our Elephant class is growing and needs more space to sing, dance, run and play as they learn about their loving Heavenly Father. Keep an eye out for posted signs.
- PROMOTION SUNDAY: is Sunday, September 8th. This means that all children who have turned 2 are invited to join our Giraffe class for 2's and 3's on that Sunday. And all children who are now Preschool age are invited to join our Elephant class for PreK & Kindergarten aged children on that Sunday.
PreK and Kindergarteners (children who turn 4 yrs old in 2013 & Kindergarteners)- Elephant Room
- NEW! Starting September 1st, Check-in for all kids will now open at the beginning of each service. No longer after worship. Here are the check-in open and closing times at each service: 9:00am-9:20am, 10:30am-10:50am, 12:30pm-12:50pm. Once Check-in is closed our Greeter and Registration teams will no longer be allowed to check-in children.
- PROMOTION SUNDAY: is Sunday, September 8th. This usually means that kids move up to the elementary program. But this time around, kids starting Kindergarten this Fall will remain in the Elephant Room. We think our Kindergarteners will feel more comfortable and learn better in this environment. So keep bringing your now Kindergartener to the Elephant room on that Sunday and for the rest of the year!

1st Graders to 3rd Graders- Upper Stage Room
- NEW! Starting September 1st, Check-in for all kids will now open at the beginning of each service. Before worship! Here are the Check-in open and closing times at each service: 9:00am-9:20am, 10:30am-10:50am, 12:30pm-12:50pm.

- PROMOTION SUNDAY: is Sunday, September 8th. This means that all children who will start 4th Grade in the Fall are invited to join our 4-5th Grade small groups in the Lower Stage Room on that Sunday.
- NEW! Starting September 1st, We will be implementing new Security Procedures at Check-in and Check-out for all Grades. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Kids will receive a security tag that they will wear for the remainder of their stay with us at New Life Kids. Parents will receive a matching numbered tag and must bring it with them to pick up their child at New Life Kids. For the safety of all of our kids in our big building, no child will be allowed to leave class on their own. They must be dropped off and picked up by an adult (18+). It is irresponsible and unsafe of us to let kids wander off on their own. While minors are in our care we want to be sure they are safe. We also want to make sure we hand them over to the care of an appropriate adult at the end of each service. Thanks for your understanding and for helping us keep your kids safe.
- SPECIAL NOTE: Starting September 1st, 4th-5th Graders will no longer be allowed to enter and leave our ministry environments with out the presence of an adult. We need to be able to reach and communicate with parents before, after and sometimes during services. This new security measure helps keep kids safe and it also helps us partner with you better. Thanks for your cooperation.
- NEW! Because of our new Check-in time we are not only able to introduce a safer environment for kids at New Life but we are also able to introduce kids to a brand new worship experience that's all their own. We're excited!
