We have provided a family entrance that put’s you right in the WSF Kids area of the church.
SAFETY
All kidspace volunteers and workers pass a background check, and we employ an off-duty police officer as well as our own security team to ensure your child’s safety. We use a security tag system for check-in and for pick-up. In case we need to contact you during a service, there is a notification system within the auditorium.
CHECK IN
On your first visit, we ask for the following personal information; parent/guardian names, children’s names, phone number, and any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for each child. This information is entered into our kids database to help maintain our secure check-in system and our parent notification system.
QUESTIONS
If you have any specific questions please feel free to ask in person on a Sunday morning or by email anytime at heather.wood@wsfirst.com

SEEDLINGS NURSERY
AGE: Birth to 3 Years
LOCATION: Seedling nursery
WHEN: Sunday mornings & Wednesday nights
We believe that little ones are created in God’s image and He has a special plan for each one of them. Our goal is to create a classroom atmosphere that cultivates growth in children physically, emotionally, and spiritually through the joy of play with loving teachers and an intentional structure. We want to create a space for children to experience an encounter with the Lord; that powerful seeds would be sewn into their lives, preparing them to say “yes!” to Jesus. Children enjoy play, Bible lessons, simple crafts, scripture memory and music together each week.
WHAT SHOULD PARENTS BRING?
A few disposable diapers
A complete change of clothes in case your child requires it
A prepared bottle for infants
sprouts preschool

Activities are incorporated to encourage creativity and to reinforce the lesson.

a few more details
a few more things you will need to know
- Check-in opens 20 minutes before the start of each worship service. We maintain a “two-adult rule” room policy. There must be at least two volunteers in a classroom before we begin accepting children.
- Check-in closes at 11:45am on Sundays and at 8pm on Wednesdays.
- For the safety of our children, we use a secure check-in system. When you check in, you will be given a barcoded key tag that will be assigned to your household. A name tag will be printed for each of your children and a coded security tag will be given to the parent/guardian. The security tag must be presented by the parent at the time of pick up.
- Upon check-in, parents will be asked to provide an emergency contact number. If a WSF staff member needs to contact you, you’ll be notified via text or a call on your mobile phone. Your security number may also appear on the call boxes located on either side of the main stage in the Auditorium.
- Out of concern for the severe food allergies of some of our kids, we ask parents to refrain from allowing your child to bring food in the classrooms. Water is permitted.
