Welcome to Wilmot Kids! We are so passionate about creating a welcoming space for our Wilmot Kids to feel seen, heard, and loved. Whether its on a Sunday morning, or during a mid-week program, we want our kids to know how valuable and precious they are in the sight of God. Keep reading to learn more about how we create spaces to help kids connect with each other and grow in their faith.
Your First Visit
Is this your first time visiting with us? We want to make sure we have all the information needed to care for your children while they are participating in a Wilmot Kids program. The safety and security of your children is our priority. For this reason, we have developed a check-in process for all of our Wilmot Kids programs. Here's what to expect when coming to a Wilmot Kids program for the first time:
When you arrive, you can make your way downstairs for our Wilmot Kids check-in area. There will be someone standing at our check-in desk to assist you.
We will check your child into our system, and collect some personal information from you, if this is your first time participating in a Wilmot Kids program (NOTE: We value your privacy and will not share this information with anyone)
We will ask for the following personal information:
- Parent/guardian name(s)
- Child's name
- Child's birthdate
- Home address
- Phone number
- Any special instructions (allergies, special needs) for your children
To save time on your first visit, you can click the button below to provide this information in advance. This will help speed-up your check-in process.
After checking-in, you and your child will be given matching name tags that are exclusive to your family, with ID codes that are randomly generated at each visit. Your child will need to wear the name tag portion while you hold on to the matching tag.
Then one of our volunteers will lead your child to their age-appropriate room. Did you know that all of our Wilmot Kids program volunteers undergo an application and screening process, and are required to complete (and annually update) Plan to Protect training. This is another way we are actively working to create safe spaces for our Wilmot Kids to connect with one another and grow in their faith.
In the event that we need to contact you during the service, your child’s identification code will appear on the screen at the left side of the sanctuary. Please make your way downstairs to the check-in desk and the Hall Monitor will assist you.
After the service is complete, you will return to your child’s room and show your tag in order for your child to be released back to you.
Sundays
Here's some information about our age-specific program offerings here at WCC on Sunday mornings.
Nursery (Birth to Preschool)
Nursery is offered during both the 9am and 11am service.
Our nursery offers a fun and inviting space for your littlest treasures to come and spend Sunday morning. Our trained volunteer staff love spending time playing, reading and enjoying a little snack with your kids. As an added safety feature for your child we have a double check in system. When you arrive, you sign them in at our Wilmot Kids check-in desk and again into the nursery room. In the nursery room, you can highlight any important information about your child and we will give you a 3-digit number in case we need to reach you during service. Just keep an eye open for your number at the front left corner of the sanctuary.
Wilmot Kids (JK - Grade 5)
Our Wilmot Kids (JK - Grade 5) program is offered during our 9am and 11am service.
All kids from JK to Grade 5 will check in at our Wilmot Kids check-in desk downstairs prior to the start of the service. Parents will then drop off their kids in the Purple Room to start off with some fun, low key activities to help them connect with each other in a relaxed atmosphere. Following that, they will participate in a time of singing and dancing for worship, a Bible Lesson, craft and/or activity.
Wilmot Kids (Grade 6 - 8)
Our Wilmot Kids (Grade 6 - 8) program is offered during our 11am service only.
All kids from Grade 6 - 8 will check in at our Wilmot Kids check-in desk downstairs prior to the start of the service. Students are then asked to sit with their parents for the start of the service, until they are dismissed to their groups downstairs. Students will watch a thought-provoking video and engage in a discussion time together.
Wilmot Youth (Grade 9 - 12)
If your kids are high-school age, we have a program just for them called Wilmot Youth. To learn more about how we create a place for students in high school to belong, click on the link below to visit our Wilmot Youth page.
