What’s Happening at Park Church for Children?
Worship Time
As you enter the sanctuary, be sure your younger child picks up one of the worship activity kits found in the black crates in the entry areas to the sanctuary.
During worship, children may sit with their families until the Mini Message. After their special time up front with the pastor or other presenter, younger children may be taken upstairs where we provide two child care settings during our Worship Hour.
| Nursery Care during Worship and Church School Hour
Worship Time Nursery is for infants through those who have not yet turned 3. The Worship Time Activity Place is for 3 to 5 year olds (below kindergarten age). Older children return to their families for the remainder of the worship hour.Children 6 weeks and until they are eligible for the 2-3 year old class are welcome during the Sunday School hour in our infant nursery. |
Church School
Church school begins at 9:30. Kindergarten through 5th grade use a new curriculum called “Walk With Me.” Activities recognize a variety of learning styles. Teachers have found this material to be user-friendly and enjoy planning their lessons. The children are learning and enjoying class, as well!
After church school, parents are asked to pickup their children at 10:40.

Preschool is a morning program for 4 and 5 year olds held three mornings a week during the school year. Children are encouraged to develop in social/emotional growth, spiritual growth, cognitive skills, and motor skills. Our program is designed to encourage the total development of each child. It aims to help each child grow into a more confident, competent, responsible, faithful human being, eager and enthusiastic for learning and life.
