GRADE SCHOOL FAQ
Madison Campus
HOW DO I CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT MY CHILD?
Once your child is registered (see Registration), use a kiosk in the children’s area to check in before any class. To check them out, show the security code that was printed at the time of check in to the class teacher.
WHO ARE THE TEACHERS IN WBKIDS?
They are dedicated volunteers who lead the children through the Bible lesson and activities. They are serious about having fun with kids and passionate about teaching the bible. Some teach each week, others every other week or every other month. On Sunday nights, we have paid workers for grades 1-3 so that our volunteers can attend adult Life Groups.
WHAT CURRICULUM DO YOU USE FOR WBKIDS?
Sunday Morning, we use The Gospel Project® for Kids that delivers engaging Bible story videos, activities and more to teach kids how God’s plan of redemption unfolds throughout Scripture and is relevant today. Kids will gain a clear understanding of the entire gospel story—how all of Scripture points to the gospel of Jesus starting with Genesis through Revelation.
Sunday Evening, we use 252 Basics. Based on Luke 2:52, the curriculum is built around:
Wisdom – I need to make the wise choice.
Faith – I can trust God no matter what.
Friendship – I should treat others the way I want to be treated.
Every week there is a key truth or bottom line based on the monthly themed virtue. Each week we send home weekly devotions about the lesson to help them establish a lifelong habit of spending time with God.
Wednesday Evening, we use Children in Action curriculum that teaches about missions and missionaries using Bible stories, missionary stories around the world, and mission activities/projects.
HOW EARLY MAY I BRING MY CHILD?
Children may be checked in 15 minutes prior to the start of each service or event.
CAN MY CHILD STAY FOR BOTH SERVICES?
No. If parent serves, your child will attend class during that hour then attend preaching with you the hour you are not serving.
IS FOOD SERVED DURING CLASS?
Occasionally we will have something special as a celebration or for a particular lesson. On Sunday nights, we offer goldfish to grades 1-3 for those who did not bring a snack from home. We are aware of allergies listed in your child’s profile.
