FAQS for Parents
In order to ensure the safety and security of all kids at the Vineyard, parents or guardians need to register kids before they attend class for the first time. You’ll probably want to plan about 10 extra minutes to visit the kids registration station in the lobby and complete the one-time registration for each child.
After the first time, you’ll be able to simply print an ID sticker for your child, and one for you to hold onto that matches the unique number on your child’s sticker.

If you are needed at any time during the service, we will send a text message to the phone number(s) listed on your child’s Planning Center profile, which you provided when you registered. Please keep your phone available, but on silent or vibrate, during the service and go to your child’s classroom promptly if you receive a message from us.
To protect your baby’s skin, we want to use your diaper products. Please be sure to stock your bag with diapers, wipes, and burp cloths. (Don’t worry, we have plenty of extras on hand as well.)
When you check in, you will have the opportunity to print an ID sticker for your bag, so we don’t mix them up!
To protect the health of all in attendance, children who show signs or symptoms of fever or any other contagious disease are asked to stay with their parents.
We have first aid kits in all of our rooms and many of our volunteers are CPR certified.
When you register your kids, please indicate all food allergies.
When you drop your child off at the Gray Room for Nursery, please indicate when you expect your baby to eat and include any special instructions we’ll need to know.
Toddlers may bring a labeled sippy cup with water or juice, but milk is not permitted in the class due to allergies. We serve our kids gluten-free rice chex cereal and cheerios, water, and occasionally give smarties and dum-dum suckers.
Move Up Sunday is the first Sunday of June each year. Kids in the nursery, toddler, and preschool classrooms are promoted to the next class around their birthday, according to their age. Elementary aged students are promoted to the next class at the end of the school year.
