Check-In
Please check-in at the Welcome Desk in the atrium or in the children’s area. Our team will be available to assist you in getting your children checked in and to their assigned rooms.
We use a computer check-in system for all registered families. When checking in as a guest, your child will receive a visitor name tag that includes name, group, and any allergies you share with us. The parent will also be given a parent pick-up tag with a code that matches the code on your child’s name tag.
All children – infants through 5th grade – must be checked in and picked up by a parent or guardian. No children will be released on their own. For the safety of all children, we do not allow any sibling younger than 6th grade to pick up your child.
Safety
We value the safety of all children in our care. Because of this, a background check is completed on all volunteers serving in our ministry. All leaders are trained in Safe Sanctuaries to ensure a safe and loving environment for your children.
In the event of an emergency or building evacuation, you will be directed in safety protocol by St Andrew Staff or lay leadership.

Supporting kids through family loss and transition
This six week program is offered twice a year to help support kids through family loss and transition. Peer support groups are formed to encourage emotional healing for children and youth (kindergarten – high school) who are experiencing grief from death, divorce or other difficult family transitions. Good Grief is offered at no cost and is open to the community.
St Andrew is a Rainbows for All Children site and our Good Grief program uses Rainbows curriculum.

Evensong Kids / Saturdays 5pm
At Evensong, children are invited to fully participate in experiential worship with their families. Not only do kids learn from observing the sights, sounds and rhythms of worship but also from opportunities to lead and serve. To help with the wiggles during still and quiet moments, we provide weekly activity tubs that encourage creative expressions of faith.
For little ones (5 years and younger) who prefer more movement and active play, our childcare staff provides safe and nurturing care during the service. Check-in downstairs in the Children’s Ministry area for this option.
