check in Policy For

Broadway Baptist Church Children's Ministry will have a check in policy for 1st through 5th grade. This is to ensure the safety of every child while in our care. This check in system will be used every Sunday morning, Sunday evening, Wednesday evening and any other time that our church hosts an event for children.

We will keep an information card on file that will be filled out by the parent/guardian. The information card will contain important information on each child and any special needs they may have. The card will be filed and on-hand for every children's ministry program/event. With this system, all children will have to be with an adult at all times while at Broadway Baptist Church.

There will be check in points for each program that children attend. The child will be given a lanyard with their name and grade on it. Children with special allergies will be given a color-coded lanyard so all the volunteers will be made aware of their allergies. Visitors will be given a special-colored lanyard that will help inform all our volunteers that they are a visitor. The parent/guardian will have a matching security card that they will receive at check in.

When the parent/guardian picks up their child he/she will hand the worker the security card and their child will hand in their lanyard. Adults and siblings 14 years or older are allowed to pick up the child. Person(s) picking up the child must have the card.
