Walnut Ridge Baptist Church - Preschool Ministry

Preschool Ministry: Preschool

The preschool area is located directly across from the main Welcome Desk through the double glass doors.

Preschool Bible Fellowship: Sunday Mornings 9:30 and 10:50am

First time visitors can register their infants through pre-K children at the preschool welcome desk. Numbered labels and name tags alert teachers to allergies and special needs and provide security in knowing that your preschooler will only be released to the proper adults. Pagers are available upon request. Returning guests can check in at any of the computer check in stations and 2 security tags will be printed. One tag goes on the child and the second is your security match required for pick up.

WRPM is committed to the process of salvation that begins in the cradle. This is done in a safe, clean, and fun environment where we partner with parents to lay a foundation of faith. We use the Hands-On Bible Curriculum that is designed to teach each preschooler, no matter how young, about the characteristics of God and the world He has created. Each lesson is presented in a fun, age-appropriate format with activities, games, and discussions to reinforce the message. The curriculum used during the first hour is different from the second hour, so the children that stay for both will benefit from each hour.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

DO YOU HAVE A NURSING ROOM?

Yes. The Mother's Room is located in the preschool area. There you will find a private room with rocking chairs, changing table, and a television tuned to the worship service.

WILL MY CHILD BE WITH KIDS THEIR OWN AGE?

Yes. The children are put in classrooms according to their birthdate. Each age is divided into 3 or 4 class rooms. All of the children will be within just a few months of each other.

WILL THEY HAVE THE SAME TEACHERS EACH WEEK?

Yes. If they come at the same time each week, they will see the same teachers. We have some that rotate every other week, but most are there every week.

DO YOU PERFORM BACKGROUND CHECKS ON YOUR TEACHERS?

Absolutely! Each preschool volunteer has had a background check. They are checked again every 3 years. We also require that there be at least 2 teachers with the children at all times.

WHAT DO YOU DO TO AVOID THE SPREAD OF GERMS?

Our classrooms, including toys and furnishings, are cleaned and sanitized after each session. We also require that children be free of fever for 24 hours before entering the preschool area. If a child appears ill, they will immediately be removed from the classroom, and parents will be notified.
