Security
In order to provide a safe, loving environment in which our children learn of Jesus' love our preschool is a controlled access area. Parents with an authorized badge will be allowed access to our Preschool area. Picture badges are issued to parents or guardians, and preschoolers.
Parent without badges will be issued a security tag and escorted to and from the classrooms by one of our friendly greeters. We love our preschoolers and their families, and want to show them the love of Jesus at every opportunity. In order to provide a strong spiritual foundation and a safe, loving environment in which these children learn of Jesus' love, we require a thorough background check for all of our staff, teachers and volunteers.
