Preschool Helpful Hints

We want to make you and your preschoolers experience at DOCC the best it can be. With that in mind we try to create environments that make your child feel safe and secure while at the same time teach them about a loving God and His ways. Here are a few things you can do to help us accomplish that:

• When dropping off your preschooler, make the transition into the room as quick as possible. While insuring them in a calm voice that you love them and will be back to get them as soon as church is over, walk them in the door or hand them to the teacher with a clean break even if the child is resistant or crying. We promise that we will come and get you if we can't get them to settle.

• Have all your child's belongings labeled clearly for the teachers If you do not have your bag labeled, stickers are available at the check-in desk for you to use.

• Encourage your child to leave personal toys at home or in your car

• Use the resources we provide to help reinforce what they are learning. The sheets we give you on Sunday, as well as your child's craft activity and coloring sheets, serve to help connect the dots between what your children hear at church and what you are teaching them at home. Also, make sure to sign up for our Preschool Newsletter which will also help you talk about our lessons at home.

• Follow and respect all of our Security Procedures.
