Dear Parents,

What an honor it is to the Word of Life Christian Center Children’s Ministry Staff to minister to

your children during chapel. It is our sincere desire to support you in training your children in

the ways of God. We believe that God has a plan for every child’s life and a vital part of that

plan is getting to know him through His word.

As ministers, we will through the direction, guidance and empowerment of the Holy Spirit

present the Word of God to your children at their level. We believe in having fun and will

minister to your children using a variety of mediums (skits, music, illustrations, bible stories,

object lessons, etc.) to communicate fundamental truths from the Bible.

Parents, you are always welcome to attend our chapel services; please feel free to join us any

Thursday morning. We look forward to serving you and your children.

For the Children,

Linda Chisolm

Director of Children’s Ministry, WLCC

From your

Pre-School Director

Dear parents,

This school year we have two students with

sever peanut allergies. Because of this very

important safety issue we can not allow

peanuts, peanut butter, peanut butter cookies or any other peanut

products into the pre-school classroom. This may include items

with peanut oils in them and peanuts in the ingredients.

Please read the attached information regarding a peanut butter

substitute that is 100% acceptable for our school. Tried it out with

my grandson and he absolutely loved it. Read, research and try it

our for yourself.

I apologize for any inconvenience this may

cause, however, the safety of all of our children

is at the heart of what we do here at WLCA.

Thank you so much for understanding.

Biting Policy

2019-2020 Biting is a natural action of toddlers. It is not pleasant for anyone involved in this situation. Toddlers do not have the verbal skills to express themselves so sometimes they use their hands, feet and teeth to communicate. This is not a normal behavior for Pre-School aged children and will not be tolerated with this age group. Please know it is our goal at Word of Life Christian Academy to have the safest facility possible. We do our best by having low teacher to child ratios and an age appropriate environment. We don’t want any child to get hurt in our care, but children do bite and it is possible that your child could get bit or bite someone at school. The following steps are taken when biting occurs.

An ice pack will be applied and a lot of love (TLC) is given.

If the skin is broken, it will be cleaned with water and peroxide and parents of both children will be called. Some doctors like to see the child if the skin is broken.

We will evaluate the situation to find out why this happened.

The caregiver will stay close to the biting child because of the tendency to bite.

If the biting occurs again the parent of the biting child will be called into a meeting with the director. We will try to find a solution or the child will have to leave our school for the safety of the whole group. It is our goal to do everything we can to solve the situation and not have the child leave our school.
