Children's Ministry Policies

Here at Quail, we want to assure you that the safety and well being of your children is always on our mind.

Our rooms are continuously updated guided by safety regulations. Each room has at least one staff member who is CPR and First Aid certified. All of our staff and volunteers have had thorough background checks.

 

 Children ages 0 through fourth grade will never be released after class or services, an adult must pick the children up. 

  

Check-In Procedures

When You Arrive

• Each child, ages 0-5 must be checked in by a parent. You may follow the instructions posted at computer check in station, this stations are staffed if you need assistance.
• You will receive a pager and a security badge for each child and a parent’s security badge with your child’s corresponding code on it.
• Place your child’s tag on his/her back and be sure to label any items that your child brings.
• Please keep your pager on your person so if your child needs you, you will feel it vibrate.
