ZOOM KIDS REOPENING POLICIES


These policies have been made for the safety of everyone involved. 

Please familiarize yourself with them before attending a weekend service.


1. Limited to no physical contact

  • Zoom Kids (1st-6th grade) chairs will be spaced out and kids will be assigned one seat for the duration of the service.
  • Zoom Jr/Zoomies/Lil Zoomies (0- Pre-K) Teachers will be intentionally trying to provide activities that help make the best use of our space. Kids will be kept away from other babies as much as physically possible. Toys and surfaces will be disinfected after service. All diaper changes will happen with gloves on.

2. Check In

  • Check in will open 15 minutes before service starts
  • Check in will be contactless. A team member will help you with this. When you arrive at check in please state your family name or if you have “pre-checked in” please indicate that. The team member will be the only ones allowed to touch the check in iPads.
  • The parent will then take the stickers and place them on their kids before entering the Zoom Kids wing
  • We encourage everyone to use pre-check in through the app called “church center”

3. Drop Off

  • When you go to enter the kids wing please have your security tag handy and name tags on all children to show that you have checked in
  • We ask that you send one parent (or guardian over 18) into the kids wing with your kids to drop them off
  • Parents will be asked to stay at the door of the classrooms for Kindergarten and under. You will drop off your child and any other needs (example: diaper bag/bottle) at the door of your classroom.

4. Pick Up

  • We ask that you send one parent (or guardian over 18) into the kids wing to pick your kids up. Please have your pick up tag ready.
  • Please pick up immediately following the dismissal of service to give our team time to clean
  • Please go to the classroom, wait in the queue and stand on the lightning bolts on the floor as you wait your turn
  • One parent will pick their kids up at the door of each classroom. Your children will be brought to you and you will exit the kids wing or pick up remaining children from their classes and then exit.

5. Follow Safety Guidelines

  • If your child is unable to follow the age appropriate safety guidelines our team puts in place you will be asked to come and pick up your child during the service. We want to keep everyone as safe as possible.
  • If your child starts showing symptoms (fever, runny noses, couching, etc) you will be asked to come and pick up your child during the service.
  • Kids must be supervised by their parent/guardian at all times that they are not in the Zoom Kids classrooms


6. No Snacks or Toys from home

  • We will not be offering any type of snacks or drinks in classrooms 2yr and up
  • Snacks in the Lil Zoomies room will be pre-packaged and only given with the parents consent
  • We ask that parents not send kids into the classrooms with outside food or drinks (with the exception of a baby who will need a bottle)
  • If you bring a water bottle for your child, that will need to stay with the parents during service
  • We also ask that there be no toys brought from home.
