As check-in begins, you welcome parents warmly, learn any feeding or allergy notes, and help little ones settle in. During service, the morning flows between gentle routines and joyful moments—simple worship music, a short Bible point, and lots of guided play. You stay attentive to needs and transitions, and you loop in ministry leadership if a parent should be contacted. At pick-up, you verify release, share a bright moment from the morning, and then finish by sanitizing and resetting the classroom so the next Sunday starts strong. ### Time to Recharge - Paid Time Off ### Benefits Paid Time Off
