Your First Visit

We love helping children develop a genuine love for Jesus, building their lives on the truth of God’s Word, connecting in meaningful friendships, and discovering their purpose at a young age. 

Our team will be waiting at the first-time check-in station where you can tell us a little about your family. To prepare ahead of time, you can fill out the New Family Pre-Registration Form.

Your infants and toddlers will experience a time of structured activities designed to cover the basics of human development and fine motor skills. As your child grows, acclimation is introduced to encourage healthy development.
Your preschoolers will experience a fun environment designed to teach through worship, story time, and crafts. More time is devoted to lesson time and worship to help prepare your young ones as they grow and develop.
Your older children will experience a time of worship and a message designed specifically for their age group. Small-group time provides a unique and immersive learning environment tailored just for your child.

Frequently Asked Questions

Citizens Kids is broken up into three age ranges: Nursery (6 weeks to 2 years old), Preschool (3 to 5 years old), and Elementary (6 years-old to 5th grade).

Our mission to partner with parents to lead children into an authentic, relationship with Jesus Christ. We believe we are leading the next generation of world changers!

When arriving to Citizens Kids, you will register your family at the New Family Check-In desk, where team members can assist you. You will then check-in your child at a check-in station and print off their name tags. You will receive two name tags, one for your child to wear and one for pick-up after service. It is important you keep your child’s pick-up receipt, as that is a security measure we take to ensure all pick-ups are safe! A team member will then show you to your child’s classroom, where they will be checked into that particular classroom

We keep it safe in Citizens Kids and have security present at all times. All persons entering the environments are either serving as a volunteer or dropping off/picking up children. In addition to this, all volunteers are background and reference checked before they serve. You will see each volunteer wears a name tag to identify they have been cleared to serve. Each of our classrooms has room ratios to ensure the safety of the specific ages.

In our preschool and elementary rooms, your child will dive deep into Bible stories through a variety of large group lessons, games, discussions with leaders, and prayer time. We believe in the next generation and our greatest joy is to grow and go together!

Yes, we at Citizens Kids follow the “age down” policy.
This is to protect the children and to make sure all the children are cared for with proper adult to child ratios and the overall age of the children in each environment.

Example: A family with children ages 7, 4 and 3 years old. The 4-year-old can stay with the 3-year-old and go to the 3-year-old’s classroom. We do not allow a 4-year-old to go to the 7-year-old’s classroom.

In short, no.

We understand that you want to stay with your child and make sure that your child is safe and enjoying themselves while in our care.


Please know that your child’s safety is our number one priority too. We strive to provide safe, fun, and engaging environments for all the children we get to serve.


We make sure everyone allowed in a classroom has passed a background checked.

In the event we need to get in touch with a parent/guardian regarding the well-being and safety of a child we will contact you via a text message.

Please always keep your phone nearby on vibrate. If your child cries, our caring team members will immediately soothe your child. If your child cries for an extended period of 10-15 minutes, we will text you.
