Checking In To SB Kids
The SB Kids entrance is located near the foot bridge at the east entrance. This is where you can securely check in your children and drop them off in their age-appropriate room.
Classrooms open 15 minutes before each service. For security, outside doors are locked at 15 minutes after the beginning of each service. Please plan to check-in children during this 30-minute window.
CHECK-IN/SECURITY PROCESS:
If this is your first time visiting us, we will have you fill out a short form to gather necessary information before checking in your child(ren). When you enter the SB Kids area, you will sign your child in on the tablets and receive a two-part security name tag. One tag will be placed on your child and you'll keep the other tag with the matching code. Please keep this security tag to pick up your child. If we need to contact you during the service, a SB Kids staff member will reach out via the contact number on your child’s name tag.
To ensure your child is safe and sound, all of our small group leaders go through a screening and training process, have passed a criminal background check, and we adhere to safe adult/child ratios in each age group.
If you have any questions before you arrive, email our SB Kids Director, Emily Massi.

What To Expect
BABIES
- Leaving your baby for the first time can be overwhelming. The small group leaders in our baby classrooms have been chosen for this age group because of their love for babies and their training to care for all of your child's needs. Our goal is to help your child feel safe, secure, and loved - and to put your mind at ease. To ensure you and your baby have everything you need for a great experience at church:
- We ask you to bring diapers, bottles, pacifiers, and any special blankets that will soothe your baby through their time at church.
- Please inform small group leaders of any details via the card at the check in desk concerning feeding and napping schedules when you drop off your baby.
- We promote children from one nursery room to the next based on age and development.
TODDLERS
Our toddler classrooms all experience activities, worship, and a Bible lesson each Sunday. To ensure the best experience for you and your child:
- Please bring extra diapers and a change of clothes
- Please let the small group leaders know if your child is potty training
PRESCHOOL
Your preschooler will experience activities, worship, and a Bible lesson all centered around a Biblical truth each Sunday. To ensure the best experience for you and your child:
- Please label all your child's personal items such as coats or bags
- The preschool classroom is for children who are in their year before Kindergarten. Children who are not yet in their year prior to Kindergarten will continue to attend the 3-year-old class until the start of the next school year.
KINDERGARTEN - 2nd GRADE
- Our kindergarten – 2nd graders will spend time together in a large group setting where they will spend time in worship and prayer, and they will receive a Bible lesson. They then transition to small groups by grade where they will meet with small group leaders for games, discussion, and prayer.
3rd- 5th GRADE
- 3rd - 5th graders will spend time together in a large group setting where they will worship, pray and receive a Bible lesson. Afterwards, they transition to three separate small groups: 3rd grade in one group, 4th and 5th grade girls in a group together, and 4th and 5th grade boys in the third group. There, they meet with small group leaders for games, discussion, and prayer.
