Generations Vision

We believe that it is an honor and a privilege to have an active role in equipping the upcoming generation!

Our kids are being brought up with Kingdom foundations established at an early age. We believe that if we equip and unlock children to walk in the fullness of God that their lives will be full of purpose, direction & vision as they grow into the men & women who will Rebuild, Repair, Revive, and Restore (Isaiah 61:4).

Drop-off & Pick-up Policy

  • All children must be checked in with our Registration Team and have stickers in order to enter their class.

  • Parents and guardians must have the appropriate, matching sticker to pick their child up. We do not release children to anyone under the age of 18.

  • Children can be signed in as early as 9:30 a.m. 

  • Class begins at 10:00 a.m. for Red, Orange, and Green Arrows

  • Drop off cutoff time is 10:30 a.m. 

  • Blue and Purple Arrows are dismissed for class following worship.

 

Emergency Policies

Fire

In case of a fire emergency:

All children will remain with their teachers until it is safe to re-enter the building or leave the premises, and the following procedures will be followed:

  • Please refer to the map in each class for the evacuation route and safe location (the lot next door) that each class will remain at until it is safe for us to either re-enter or to leave the premises. 

  • Red Arrows: The babies will be placed in the crib(s) (cribs have wheels), and the teachers will push the babies safely in the cribs to their safe location by exiting out through the classroom doors.

  • All other classrooms: All children will line up single file, with assistance from teachers (some of the younger ones may need to be carried), and as quickly as possible, walk quietly and safely out of their classroom. 

Tornado

Announcement of a tornado warning:

  • Unless otherwise notified by either a church staff member or Generations Director, children should not be released at this point. This is for the safety of all involved.

  • All children will stay with their teachers/classes and go toward the interior walls of the main Generations hallway, away from all doors and windows.

  • Children will be encouraged to stay as still as possible during the duration of the drill/warning, assuming the tornado safe position if a tornado is actively touching down. (Kneel facing the wall and then fold your body over your legs to be facing the ground, tucking your head between your knees. Cover the back of your head with your hands.)

  • Teachers can use play mats, blankets, rugs, or other soft items to cover the children and shield them from debris.

  • Parents are welcome to join us in the hallway to protect and sooth their children. Remember, we are a family working together and staying together is the best way to ensure safety and security.

In any and all emergencies, drop-off and pick-up policies must be adhered to in order to ensure each child is accounted for.

“ Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. ”
— Proverbs 22:6 (KJV)

 

 

 

Wellness Policy

We ask that sick children and adults not attend class in order to ensure the health of our entire body. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that a child should not leave home when any of the following symptoms exist:

  • Fever (over 101 degrees)

  • Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours

  • Respiratory illness symptoms (cough, runny nose, or sore throat coupled with a fever)

  • Any unexplained rash

  • Any skin infection - boils, ringworm or impetigo (HFMD)

  • Untreated pink eye or other eye infection

  • Any symptom of childhood diseases such as scarlet fever, German measles, mumps, chicken pox or whooping cough

  • Any communicable disease

  • Lice, including the presence of eggs or nits

We follow these guidelines, and we expect that both children and teachers be free of any fevers for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicines before returning to Generations. 

We do not dispense any medication to children. 

If a child appears to be ill, we will notify the parent immediately by text message through our system.

Nursing Mother’s Room

We have a special room for nursing moms to feed and care for their babies. It is located in Room 1 and is easily accessed from the main auditorium. There are water bottles in the refrigerator, snacks on the corner shelf, and service is able to be live-streamed.

Guidelines for Before and After Class

It is our desire that our children enjoy coming to church. We want it to be a great time of playing with friends and cultivating relationships; however, for the safety of others and themselves, we have a few guidelines for non-classroom time.

  • Children should not be outside the building without adult supervision.

  • Aside from the far wall in the auditorium near the ‘Revive’ and ‘Restore’ signs, walk only, no running, for the safety of all, especially small children and the elderly.

  • Children should not climb on furniture or auditorium chairs.

  • Children should not be in classrooms except during scheduled

    class times and under approved adult supervision.

  • We do NOT allow loitering (hanging out unsupervised) in hallways,

    lobbies, or bathrooms once church service has begun.

  • Outside of prayer times or the direct supervision of an adult during

    Generations activities, children should not be on the stage.
