Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
We enjoy providing a safe, clean, and loving environment for children. When you arrive, please come to the check-in desk in the main lobby.
The Nursery Preschool ministry plays an important role in the lives of families with small children here at Brookhaven Church. The Nursery Preschool is not a babysitting service. It’s main purpose is to serve the children and their families. Our mission is to lead preschool children to a relationship with Jesus Christ and aid their spiritual growth by partnering with parents. Our vision is for children to know, love and follow Jesus Christ with all their hearts. We strive to provide a safe, organized environment for young children where they can learn about God, play and have a happy church experience.
As you arrive on Sunday morning, the check in process is followed carefully, providing a secure safe place for your child. On to the classroom where the leaders greet your child and spend a few minutes with them individually with conversation or directing them to an activity they enjoy. The atmosphere is warm and pleasing. After the child feels comfortable, it's time to gather together and have a short bible lesson, sing a song, watch a puppet show, etc. We use Gospel Light curriculum which is age appropriate and designed for each class individually. Through the lessons the kids connect to a deeper understanding of God’s word . We want them to know that God loves them and He is always there for them. It’s now time for snack where we pray and thank God. Playtime is next and this can be in their classroom, indoor playroom or outside on the playground. All these areas have been appropriately designed for the preschool age child. Play time is very valuable. This is where a child learns to share, explore their own interests, lengthen their attention span, help with verbal skills and learn problem solving. This a teachable time not simply to entertain. As the children prepare to meet their parents, the leaders might review some of the things the have done that day or let them play in their classroom until parents arrive.
Parents, ask your child what fun things they did that morning. This gives them an invitation to share their experiences with you. Please go through their take home bag each week. It contains a Family Fun Time handout, a resource to spend quality time talking with your child about what they learned in Sunday school, fun activities to do, a verse to memorize and a prayer time. This a great way for you and your child to grow in faith together. Also in the take home bag there will be any other activity or craft your child has done for that day and any handout for upcoming events or needed information. We want you to know that we are honored to serve you, your family and God in this wonderful ministry.
