I Have Children

I Have Children

Parents, while you attend service, we provide interactive and creative programs for your children. We strive to provide an extremely fun, yet safe, classroom environment. We have a wonderfully trained staff, and every volunteer is required to go through a background check and a personal interview before working with our children. You should feel free to approach any of our leaders with questions or concerns. They are here to serve you.

CLASSROOMS

We maintain a “two-or-more-teacher” classroom policy. There must be at least two volunteers in a classroom before we will begin accepting children. Children are never allowed to leave the classroom without adult supervision, and all children, nursery through fifth grade, must be picked up by an adult after service.

RESTROOMS

The children in our care are always accompanied by one of our adult volunteers, but our volunteers never take a child to the restroom alone. Men do not assist young children in the bathroom stall or change diapers.

CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT

We begin accepting children just before the start of each worship service. Parents of children age 5 and under must sign their children before entry. You must sign your children out before they leave the designated children's wing. No child will ever be released without the parent signing and verifying there entry signature. If an TMI KIDS staff member needs to contact you, we will notify you via text or mobile phone. For more info on TMI Kids, please call Doretha at 253.572.7054 or email: children@stjohntacoma.org.
