A Gentle First Experience

More than childcare — a ministry that reflects the love of Christ to little children.

Little Ones is built around the reality that young children need a different kind of environment. The goal is not just supervision, but a space that feels calm, kind, safe, and age-appropriate.

At this age, ministry often looks simple and foundational. It looks like being cared for well, being shown kindness, hearing simple truth, and being in an environment where the love of Jesus is reflected in the way children are treated.

Whether a child comes in smiling right away or needs a little extra comfort, Little Ones exists to serve families with warmth, patience, and steady care.

Safety & Check-In

Thoughtful systems that help parents feel confident and informed.

Little Ones is designed to feel welcoming for children and reassuring for parents. The check-in process is simple, secure, and built to support clear communication and responsible care from drop-off to pick-up.

What parents can expect

From check-in to pick-up, the process is intended to be clear, secure, and easy to follow for both families and volunteers.

1
Children are checked in using an iPad system before service.
2
A sticker is printed for both the parent and the child to create a matching release code.
3
Allergy details and parent phone numbers are included on the stickers so volunteers can access them quickly if needed.
4
Children are released only to the adult with the matching code.
5
Room doors remain locked while children are in care.

Volunteer screening

All volunteers serving in Little Ones are background checked.
Important child information is available to volunteers right at check-in.
The goal is thoughtful care that helps every child be served well and treated with Christ-like love.
