Checking your Child in:
Tiny Town has 2 large registration desks located in the center of our building.  Each registration desk has 4 touch screen computers to assist you with checking in your child. If this is your first time to visit Tiny Town, please proceed to the visitor check in computers located in the center of the registration desks.  We will have people at these locations to assist you in with any need you may have.  They will be asking for basic information to help us meet the needs of your child while they visit Tiny Town.  Please be patient as we enter your information into our computer system.  Once your information has been entered into the computer system one of our greeters will escort you to your assigned classroom. During the check in process, please note any information that will help in caring for your child such as feeding times, sleeping times, allergies and special needs.   
 
*Please Note: You will only need to be entered into the computer system one time.  If you decide to come and visit us again, the check in process is as simple as touching the screen to check your child in to Tiny Town.

 
Your Child's Health:
We operate a well-baby program. For the protection of all the children in our ministry we cannot accept a child with a runny nose, fresh cold (four days or less), fever, rash, persistent cough, diarrhea or any other signs of illness. We request that you not place your child in the program while they are at risk of exposing other children. Thank you in advance for helping us keep Tiny Town a healthy place for all.
 
When You Arrive At Your Child's Room:

A leader will meet you at the door of the classroom you have been assigned to receive your child and any other necessary items.

At the time of check-in, a leader will apply an adhesive name tag to your child's back with his or her name on it. You will be given a pager. The pager you are given has an identifying number on it. If you are needed to return to your child's classroom, you will be paged. The pager will vibrate, so please hold or wear the pager at all times. We ask that you present the pager upon return to your child's classroom along with your receipt given at check in. We will verify that the security code on parent receipt matches the security code on the classroom copy and then release your child to you. A child will not be released to a parent without presentation of the assigned pager and receipt.
 
Snacks:
Snacks are provided for the children once they graduate to the Crawler classroom. The food items consist of water and Cheerios, vanilla wafers or Ritz crackers for our new walkers through 3 year olds. If your child has an allergy, please inform the leader when you check in your child.


Saying Good-bye:
After you have completed the check-in process, simply wave a quick good-bye and leave for the worship service. As you know, it is normal for little ones to cry when leaving a parent. This does not last long, and separation becomes easier over time. Our leaders will immediately try to create interest in a toy or activity and give assurance that you will return after the worship service is completed. If your child cries for an extended period of time of 10 minutes, we will page you.

Checking On Your Child:
Feel free to check on your little one at any time during the worship service. However, we ask that you do so discreetly, trying not to let your child see you.

Pick-up Procedures:
Your child's leader will expect the same person to drop off and pick up each child unless special instructions are given at check-in. Remember, you must present your “check in” receipt to pick up your child.   Please make sure that all your child's personal items have been returned to you before you leave the premises. Lost and found items will be retained for a short time.  Items not claimed after one month are donated to a charitable organization.

Nursing Mother's Room:
We have a room in Tiny Town set aside for nursing mothers designed to provide privacy during feeding times. Because our space is limited, we do ask mothers to limit their stay to just the time required to meet the needs of the child.   Please feel free to ask for the location at either registration desk.
