Teacher FAQ's 

Do I need to follow the lesson exactly? 

The lesson plan is there to make your life easier, you don't need to follow it word for word. We do ask that you emphasize the main scripture, the Big Truth or main point, the Gospel Connection, and the application each week.

Will I need to prepare craft supplies? 

No. All crafts are prepared for you in advance. Teachers only need to prep their lesson and any extra activities if they want to include them. 

Kids'Park Helpers help connect kids with God and each other by encouraging them to engage with the lesson and be kind to each other. Helpers are responsible for creating a safe and welcoming environment, supporting the teacher by helping kids participate respectfully, and facilitating crafts or activities. For a detailed job description click here. 

Helpers serve once a month in either the 9am or 11am service. 

Helper FAQ's 

If a child is disruptive, should I step in or let the teacher handle it? 

In general, if you believe a child is not behaving up to their capabilities or in line with classroom expectations feel free to kindly redirect or correct their behaviour. Anything you do to help kids engage respectfully is a huge help to the whole class. You can check in with the teacher before the service so that you are both clear on how to navigate classroom management together. 

Do helpers need to know the lesson ahead of time? 

Yes, helpers do need to know the basics of the lesson ahead of time. Reading the main scripture and the big truth will prepare helpers to thoughtfully engage kids in discussions about that day's lesson both in support of the teacher during the lesson and during the crafts/activities afterwards. The main scripture and big truth are easily accessible in Breeze. You do not need to read through the whole lesson.

Hall Monitor FAQ's 

What if there is a problem during the service and the Kids'Pastor is teaching and unavailable? 

Hall Monitors are the primary problem solvers for Kids'Park on Sunday mornings. If there is an urgent need you can always grab another pastor or an elder from the main service to help you - they won't mind! 

What if a new family comes and they're not in our system? 

All new families need to fill out and sign our registration form. You then add them into our system, explain how the tags work, and offer to give them a tour of Kids'Park. 

What if a child comes upstairs without a tag? 

All kids must be checked in. The hall monitor is responsible for getting the child checked in and giving the parent tag to the parent.
