About Hilldale UMC KIDS
At Hilldale UMC our kids (infant through 5th grade) experience safe, age-appropriate environments where they learn about Jesus in a creative and explorative way.
Children's activities and childcare/nursery are available during both Sunday school at 9:00am and service at 10:15am! Our nursery (infant through two) and PreK (three and four) is staffed by CPR certified caregivers.
Everyone who works with children, youth, and at-risk adults must complete and pass our "Safe Sanctuaries" training as well as a national background check.
Children of all ages are always welcome to join service with their parents. Children ages infant-PreK can be dropped off in our nursery or Pre-K rooms before or during service. Children age Kindergarten-Fifth Grade will begin service with their parents. About one-third of the way into the worship service we will have a "Children's Moment" with our Children's Director. After the "Children's Moment", our children can head to Children's Church or choose to remain seated with their parents for the remainder of the service.
Parents are always invited to go with their children to Children's Church to see the space, talk to teachers, and understand the program. We want you to feel comfortable that your children are safe at Hilldale!!
We would love to meet you & your children when you visit Hilldale UMC! Let us know you are new when you arrive and we will make sure you get to meet our Director of Children's Ministries and Pastor!
