Children
At First Baptist we love kids. We are dedicated to providing a place in which children of all ages can learn about God's love in the way and at a level uniquely suited to them.
Our colorful, kid-friendly environment is a great place for your preschoolers to discover God and His love. Teaching children within a safe, secure, and loving atmosphere is our top priority as we partner with you to lay a Biblical foundation for your child's spiritual growth.

What should I expect when leaving my child?
As you drop off your child in the classroom, you will
sign his or her name on the sheet by the door and you should inform the teachers of any special needs, allergies, or other important information about your child. You will receive a pair of security labels with matching numbers; one will go on your child's back and you will keep the other. To pick up your child after the service, simply show your security label to your child's teacher. When the teacher has matched the labels' numbers, your child will be ready to go.
Security
We strive to maintain a safe and secure environment for all our children – both in the selection of teachers we entrust them to and in their protection from any outsiders in our building. Every volunteer must complete and pass a background screen to ensure they are of good character and without criminal history.
Illness
We are unable to accept a child if he/she has had a fever in the last 24 hours or has diarrhea, a contagious rash, vomiting, heavy nasal bronchial congestion, croup, congestive cough or pink eye. We cannot give any medication. If your child becomes ill while in our care, we will contact you immediately.
Personal Items
Please bring a change of clothes for all preschoolers while they are in our care. Depending on the age of your child, be sure to send disposable diapers, bottles, formula, pacifiers, sippy cups, etc. appropriate for the length of time your child will be spending with us. Be sure all items brought are labeled with your child’s name. Any item such as a blanket or animal that a child cannot live without will be accepted, but toys or other items are provided in the rooms and should not be brought from home.
Paging System
We encourage parents of our younger visitors (birth through 18 months) to pick up a pager when dropping off your children in the nursery. This enables us to contact you quickly in the event of illness or other emergency.
Thanks for partnering with us as we strive to provide your child with a fun and meaningful experience while in our care. We consider it an honor and a privilege to communicate the Father’s love to your little ones in a safe, secure environment.
