City Tots
Welcome! We believe that every child is a gift from God, made by Him with more potential than they could ever imagine. Our aim is to develop that potential and assist parents in preparing their kids for a future of following Jesus. City Tots is an environment designed to care for kids from Birth - Pre-K. This environment is led by volunteers who have been interviewed, trained, background-checked and are passionate about investing in the next generation!
​
Through age-appropriate activities, preschoolers build their spiritual foundation so that by the time they graduate to Kindergarten, they know these three basic truths:
jesus
made me.
jesus
loves me.
jesus
wants to be my friend.
If you have any questions we can answer prior to arrival, please contact our City Tots Coordinator, Katie Ryan.

​
What is the City Tots well child policy?
We care about your children and want to keep them safe and healthy! We also live in an unprecedented moment in history with the fast spread of COVID-19. Because of this, we want to inform you of the steps we are taking to help prevent the spread of all colds and viruses, and we invite you to partner with us in making City Church a fun, safe, and healthy environment for your children to engage with Jesus. We know that there is no such thing as a “perfectly safe” environment, so we completely understand if you prefer not to bring your children into one of these environments. If you choose to attend, please understand that there is always potential risk of being exposed to sickness. The only risk-free environment that exists is in your home, while choosing to attend obviously risks exposure. By attending, you are personally assuming that liability.
So, with all of that in mind, we first plead with you to keep your children home if they show any signs of being ill. Those signs are included in the list below of all symptoms to be considered.
Steps we are taking to prevent the spread of viruses and other germs:
-
At check-in, there will be hand sanitizer provided at one of our stations. We will regularly utilize hand sanitizer/soap in the City Tots/Kids environments as well.
-
Gloves will be utilized while serving your children any snacks or changing diapers.
-
The same wellness rules that apply to our children will apply to our volunteers and staff. No one who cares for your children will show any of the signs and symptoms listed below.
-
Children are NOT required to wear a mask as we believe masks will actually cause children them to touch their face more often than not. However, if you choose to send them with one, we will respect that and do our best to keep it on them while interacting with other children.
-
All snacks we use are pre-packaged by our staff team ahead of time. Please do not supply your child with their own snack (unless there is an allergy concern) and/or water bottle as we do not want to allow other children to be exposed to outside material like this in the classroom.
-
The City Tots/Kids areas are cleaned and disinfected every week, including all toys after the gathering.
