WHAT ABOUT MY CHILDREN?
We want your visit to West Asheville to be a wonderful experience, we have excellent Preschool and Children's ministries.  In the Family Life Welcome Center, greeters are located inside to assist you.  You will find wonderful classes for your children from birth through 6th grade.

The Preschool Ministry is a wonderful warm caring place with rooms designed for each child's development stage and staffed by caring members.  We use a security system of pagers and matching tags for check/in-out of children.   Our child-adult rations vary by age group, but we
ALWAYS staff our classrooms well above the recommended rations.

During the Sunday morning 11:00 service time, we offer nursery care for babies through 3 year olds.  Our 4 year olds through 2nd grade continue learning about Jesus and lots of fun activities in three different kid friendly worship services.  We offer programming activities and childcare during all services.

WHAT TYPE OF SECURITY DO YOU PROVIDE?
Each child must be registered at the Welcome Desk before entering a class. All preschoolers through Kindergarten are required to have a security label and pager.  These must be presented at departure to pickup a child. Additional security measures and personnel are on campus to ensure the safety of every child. 

CHECKING ON YOUR CHILD
If you would like to check on your little one during the worship service, please stop by the welcome center and one of our monitors will assist you. We ask that you do not peek into the classroom as this can upset your child and others if your child sees you.

DROP OFF/PICK-UP PROCEDURES
Classes open 15 minutes prior to services.  Please do not bring children any earlier, our staff arrives early to prepare the classroom and materials for teaching time.  At your child's classroom, you will fill out security tag information. You will be expected to present your child's security tag at the time of pick-up.  Please know that for the safety of all, children will only be released to the adult having the matching tag. Siblings will not be allowed to pick up there younger brother or sister unless they are 16 and have the matching numbered security tag.  Make sure that all your child's personal items have been returned to you before you leave the premises.

SNACKS
Snacks are provided for the children 2 through 5 years. Our snacks are apple juice, water, crackers  small butter cookies, Goldfish, cheese balls and toddler safe foods. If your child has an allergy, please inform the leader when you check them in.

WELL BABY POLICY
We desire for all children to stay as healthy  as possible, for their protection we operate a well-baby program.
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 Joyland a healthy place for all.

TOYS
The toys in each room are age-appropriate and our classrooms are setup by developmental age.  Each week the rooms and toys are disinfected and sterilized.  Very often parents comment are classrooms are cleaner than their homes.
