Childcare Information
**Limited childcare is available for children 1 year old through 2nd grade. Childcare is only on Friday and Saturday (10am, 2pm, and 3pm)**

To ensure your child has a safe and enriching experience while in our care, we want to share what will be offered by the Southwest church of Christ congregation(SWCOC), and what is expected of you as parent/guardian of the preschool child.

1. SWCOC has made every effort to find and provide loving, Christian caregivers for children in our care. We desire to elevate "babysitting" to short-term, quality child care.

2. Staff has been trained in how to manage child accidents or emergencies. A parent will be notified immediately of any major injury. Minor boo-boos will be tended to, and the parent will be notified in writing at pick up time.

3. Children's physical and emotional needs will be met in a caring and timely manner.

4. Age-appropriate materials will be available throughout the time the child is in care. We have manipulatives, home-living toys, puzzles, books, and gross-motor materials gathered for your child's fun.

5. It is normal for young children to be cautious or even really unhappy as they go into a new situation. Our caregivers expect some resistance/tears, and will try to soothe and engage each child quickly. If, after a reasonable amount of time, your child cannot become happy busy, someone will alert the designated adult to come tend to the child, or remove him from care. We want what is best for all the children and caregiver.

What we expect from you:

1. All paperwork must be filled out completely. We need as much information as possible about you and your child to keep your child happy and safe. We must be able to reach a parent at anytime during the lecture sessions.

2. You must pick your child up PROMPTLY at specified times.

3. No unattended children will be allowed in the building. If your preschool child is not registered for babysitting, they must be with you at all times. Children roaming the building or grounds will not be tolerated for their own safety and for the safety of the ARISE attendees.

4. There may be times during the day when you as a parent may use the rooms designated for child care to care for your children, however, you as a parent must remain in the room to supervise your child and ensure that whatever mess is made is cleaned up before you leave.

Failure to comply with any of these items may result in forfeiting the privilege of child care.
