One of the best and easiest ways to get involved as a parent is to volunteer with us on Sundays or on Wednesday evenings. Take a look at our Volunteer page to learn more!

All first-time guests should visit the Preschool Desk where you’ll enter your child’s information into our database. Once your child is in the system, we can assign him or her to a class at the desk. From that point forward, you’ll be able to check in at the kiosks using your 10-digit phone number, where each child and parent will receive a nametag. (Only authorized parents/guardians with the proper nametag are allowed to enter the preschool area). Additionally, you will receive a security card for each child. These are to be kept until pick up time, and given to the class teacher when receiving your child.

To ensure the safety of every child in the First Friends Ministry, the only adults that are allowed in classrooms are approved volunteers. (Volunteers wear designated nametags so they are more easily identified). We encourage parents to volunteer, however they must be approved to serve before entry in the classroom.

If there is an issue or any concern about your child, we will text you. Please have your cell phone with you and set on vibrate so you can receive messages.

All children who have had a fever (100.4 or higher), vomiting, or diarrhea within the past 24 hours may not enter the First Friends Area. If your child becomes ill while in our care, we will contact you immediately to pick him/her up. This policy is designed to ensure the well-being of all the children.

The First Friends Area is a nut free zone. We do not allow nuts, nut butters, or any product containing them in the classrooms or the First Friends Area.
