Sundays - Kid City

Our children's area (better known as Kid City) is a place where all kids learn about God and the Bible as we worship, play, create, and have fun together! FP Kids takes place during both Sunday gatherings and is for kids from birth - 6th grade.

FOREST PARK KIDS POLICIES

Security

Your child's safety is of utmost importance to us. Our policies and procedures make Forest Park Kids a secure place for them to learn and grow. On arrival at any one of our campuses, our friendly volunteers will help you check in your child using our secure check-in system. You will receive a security tag that must be used when you return to pick up your child. This ensures that only you and other people you have authorized have permission to take your child from our care.

For more information regarding specific procedures, contact the Forest Park Kids leader on your campus.

Wellness

Being sick is no fun, but spreading it is even worse. We ask parents and guardians to commit to helping us by following these guidelines.

Please do not bring your child if he/she has the following symptoms:

  • Fever (within the past 24 hours)
    • This includes fevers that are controlled with fever reducers
  • Vomiting or diarrhea (within the past 24 hours)
  • Rash
  • Inflamed throat or mouth
  • Colored discharge from eyes or nose
  • Unusual irritability or fatigue

If your child develops any of these symptoms while in our care, you will be notified immediately and asked to keep your child with you for the remainder of the activity time.
