What to Expect on Your First Sunday
1️⃣ Check In
Arrive a few minutes early and stop by the Parkside Kids check-in desk. Our team will help you register your child and print their secure name tag.
2️⃣ During the Service
Nursery and preschool are open for the entire service.
Elementary kids worship with their families first and are then released to their classrooms.
3️⃣ Safe Pickup
Every child receives a secure name tag and parents receive a matching pickup tag to ensure safe dismissal.
"Our kids absolutely love Parkside Kids. From the very first Sunday, we felt confident leaving them in a safe and caring environment."
