EKIDS

Our eKids program at Element offers childcare and teaching for infants through 5th grade. Each of our eKids classes is staffed with volunteers that are background checked and who have a heart to show Christ's love to children. Our desire for our kids at Element is to balance formative and age-appropriate teaching and instruction with the experience of being an active part of a flourishing, diverse church community. We have designed our program with space for our kids to experience both class settings and communal gathering settings so that they are prioritized, included, and trained in what it looks like to grow along with their whole community.

Our nursery program welcomes little ones from infancy through age 4 to be cared for throughout the entirety of our gatherings. Upon arrival, all nursery attendees need to be checked in at the nursery entrance to receive a name sticker and to authorize a person to pick up the child.

Our elementary program welcomes kids from VPK through 5th grade to participate in a hybrid class model.

On first and third Sundays, VPK - 5th grade will attend a dedicated class with games, content, and curriculum targeted to their growth and development. Students will check in at their room at the beginning of the gathering to authorize a person to pick them up. They will begin the gatherings sitting with their families, and will be dismissed from the main gathering after our worship time together to attend their class.

On second and fourth Sundays, VPK - 5th is included in our gatherings as an opportunity to worship, learn, and grow alongside their church community. On these Sundays, VPK through 5th is also invited to attend a special “kids corner” after the gathering to discuss the concepts they learned and to have some fun!

We encourage all parents of Element kids to volunteer once a month as part of our eKids program.
If you would like to take ownership and make a difference in the next generation of Element, or if you have any questions about our eKids program, please contact Pastor Melody at melody@iamelement.org.
