Children


Nursery and Preschool

INFANTS, TODDLERS, and TWOS

Annette Flores is the coordinator for the infants and toddlers who come with their parents to Eastside. These children are cared for in a safe and loving environment, playing and interacting with other children while mom and dad are able to freely enjoy worship and teaching in the service or classes.

Dedicated teams of volunteers, who love being with the children, create a friendly atmosphere that makes coming to church a 'happy time.' In the two-year-old classrooms, the toddlers learn to better understand God and His love for them with a curriculum designed for their age group. The teaching is interactive, incorporating songs, puppets, crafts and snacks based on the day's Bible lesson.

The nursery for infants, toddlers and twos are upstairs in Rooms 200 and 201.

PRESCHOOL

Always ready with a smile, Marcie and the teachers in this program give a lot of attention to each child. Children are welcomed into the classroom and then invited to participate in Learning Centers that include a variety of games, books, puppets, arts and crafts, sensory play and toys.

Children are brought together for a Bible story, age-appropriate interactive worship, and an opportunity in the comfortable setting to 'talk to Jesus' in prayer. There is always laughter and fun in these classrooms.

You'll find the preschool classrooms in the upstairs hallway:

Threes and fours in Room 202

Fives and kindergarten in Room 203

Club 123 (Early Elementary)

Scott SmithChildren in the 1st through 3rd grade are ready to deepen their understanding of God's Word. Pastor Scott Smith, the Elementary Program Coordinator, chooses curriculum and designs Bible lessons that will help these children explore the realities of a daily life devoted to Jesus. He and his team of teachers are sensitive to the unique needs of this age group. Friendship with God and others is encouraged and an opportunity for experiencing heart-felt worship is incorporated into every class time. Of course, the kids just think they are having fun!

You'll find the 1st though 3rd grade classrooms in the upstairs hallway of the Kidzone in Room 216.

Club 123 Nights:

Second Saturday of each month from 7:30-9:00 PM

Club 123 is the time that 1-3rd graders come together for fellowship outside of the Celebration Services. We will have exciting activities such as games, crafts, movies and speakers, allowing time for a message that will help them to recognize God in all things. They will see and understand that church is a fun place to be and in turn they will invite their unchurched friends to Club Night and also to the weekend services. We want to spread the excitement about who God is and empower these kids to reach their friends.

Club 456 (Upper Elementary)

Michael ChenowethMichael Chenoweth, the Club 456 Program Coordinator, knows how to keep things exciting for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. Boredom is the enemy when it comes to pre-adolescent kids, so there is always something fun going on in Room 217.

Weekend Services:

These services take place during regular church service times and utilize creative teaching methods centered on the Word of God, with a strong emphasis on personal application. Each activity is designed with the intent to train children to become strong in their faith and able to live out that faith in their everyday lives. The kids are encouraged toward leadership, preparing them to influence their generation for Christ. Worship is not a 'sit down and be quiet' experience, but a meaningful, joyful time with music that relates lyrically and stylistically to their age group.

Club 456 Night is for every kid in the 4th, 5th, or 6th grade. Happening the second Saturday of each month from 7:30-9:00 PM, it is a time for kids to be together in a fun filled, supervised, safe and secure environment. Kids are encouraged to bring their friends, cousins, and schoolmates who are in this age group. Every week there is something new happening, and on occasion we plan an offsite activity in the community.

SUMMER CAMP PROGRAM

Kids CampNext summer our kids' weeklong discovery--from July 9-13, 2012—takes place at Lake Retreat Camp in Ravensdale, Washington, just 35 miles southeast of Seattle and only a 25 minute drive from Issaquah, Renton, or Auburn. Watch for registration to begin April 1st!

This beautiful camp is located right on the lake and filled with outdoor activities. Your kids will have a week loaded with sports, outdoor games, hiking, swimming, boating, climbing, and much more, all safely supervised. Even more importantly, your kids will learn we are called and equipped by God through His Holy Spirit to search for and rescue the lost.

Your camper’s home for the week will be one of several lodges and cabins with bunkbed sleeping and conveniently located restroom and shower facilities. Our staff of carefully screened and trained adult leaders will spend the week leading and teaching your child, helping and encouraging them in their relationship with the Lord.

Make this summer one that your kids won’t just remember, but one that will change their lives.

You can also find photos, video, and updates from our 2011 camp at www.facebook.com/FoursquareKidsCamp.
