Our church community is created and sustained through the energy and vitality of its participants. The YSE teachers and committee members are volunteers, who depend on adult support to maintain a well-rounded program. In this spirit, registration of children and youth into the YSE Program is seen as a covenant in partnership between parents, children, the YSE Committee and the church community as a whole. We ask our families to complete a registration form each September to keep our files current, volunteer in key areas in the program, including the classroom, and agree to abide by the following behavioral covenant:
We believe that each and every person is important.
• Safety is our first concern!
• Children must remain in classrooms or supervised areas until picked up by parents.
• Only gentle play is appropriate on church grounds.
• Treat everyone with respect. Use caring language and behavior.
We believe that all people should be treated fairly and kindly.
• Listen and follow directions.
• Be polite. Take turns.
• Care about one another.
We believe that we should accept one another and keep on learning together.
