At KMMK, we provide your child with quality program and a safe environment. Our preschool runs from 9:30AM to 12:30PM. The first program is from 9:30AM to 11:00AM and second session is from 11:00AM to 12:30PM


Your Child's Health
We operate a well-baby program. For the protection of all the children in our ministry we cannot accept a child with a runny nose, fresh cold (four days or less), fever, rash, persistent cough, diarrhea or any other signs of illness. We request that you not place your child in the program while they are at risk of exposing other children. Thank you in advance for helping us keep our program a healthy place for all.

When You Arrive At Your Child's Room
A teacher will meet you at the check-in area to receive your child and any other necessary items. Please check in and note any information that will help in caring for your child such as allergies and special diet.

If it is your child’s first day here at our program, you are welcome to stay with your child for a while until he/she is more comfortable with the teachers and the new environment.

Saying Good-bye to your child
After you have completed the check-in process, simply wave a quick good-bye and leave for the worship service. As you know, it is normal for little ones to cry when leaving a parent. This does not last long, and separation becomes easier over time. Our teachers will immediately try to create interest in a toy or activity and give assurance that you will return after the worship service is completed. If your child cries for an extended period of time of 10 minutes, we will try to contact you.

Snacks
Snacks are provided for the children once during the time they are here at the program. The food items usually consist of water and cracker or cookies. If your child has an allergy, please inform the teacher when you check in your child

Curriculum
Our program consists of lessons that are reinforced with songs, play and supervised activities designed with the ability of the children in mind. We are constantly looking for quality curriculum that is published by creditable publishers that are fun and easy for the children to remember.

Checking On Your Child
Feel free to check on your child at any time during the worship service. However, we ask that you do so discreetly, trying not to let your child see you.

Pick-up Procedures
Your child's teacher will expect the same person to drop off and pick up each child unless special instructions are given at check-in. Please make sure that all your child's personal items have been returned to you before you leave the classrooms. Lost and found items will be retained for a short time.  Items not claimed after one month are donated to a charitable organization.
