FAQs
We know that there will be a number of questions connected to our return to in-person gathering. We have tried to think about some of the questions parents might ask. We have complied those questions here. Please take a minute or to to read below. If you still have a question, please feel free to reach to us with this email: children@c3wheeling.org.
Q: If we’re starting with just one gathering, will this excludes families with younger kids?
A: As we launch our Hybrid model, we are planning to welcome all kids, PreKindergarten (4 to 5years old) through 5th grade. Children under 4 years old can visit our Mountain Kids room, which will be staffed by our C3Kids Volunteers.
Q: What about masks? Who will be required to wear masks?
A: We will follow the recommended guideline of the CDC, the West Virginia DHHR, and the Ohio County School District. These guidelines require masks to be worn by all children PreK and up. We are also requiring all adult and student volunteers to wear masks while serving with C3Kids. We will have extra masks available in the event a mask is forgotten or damaged.
Q: Are we going to make the kids social distance?
A: Yes, we will honor all social distancing recommendations. Kids will sit at tables as families or at a table with 1-3 other kids, spread apart like in school. We will also encourage social distancing during parent drop off and pick. There will be markers on the floor and walls to help with the flow of families as the come and go from the North Wing.
Q: Will I need to pre-register my kid(s) for C3Kids?
A: Since we are no longer taking RSVP’s for our worship services, we will not be requiring parents to pre-register for C3Kids. However, we do want to encourage parents to utilize our new mobile check-in system. We use KidCheck as our weekly check-in system for C3Kids. This system offers parents the opportunity to check their kids in prior to their arrival. You can download the free app from your app store, and check your kid "in" as early as Saturday evening. You can learn more by clicking on this link: Learn About KidCheck!
Q: When will we go to offering C3Kids at both services?
A: Our first goal as we return to C3Kids is the safety of our kids, volunteers and family members. With our current safety precautions, we want to be sure we can appropriately manage and care for kids as they attend C3Kids. Along with our safety precautions, we have other guidelines and standards relating to volunteer/kid ratios. Due to the pandemic, not all of our volunteers are able to return to C3Kids at this time. This limits our opportunity to run C3Kids at both services. For that reason, we are focused on launching at the 11:15 service first, with the 9:30 service returning when we are ready and able to appropriately staff two services.
Q: Will there be any child care for families during the 9:30 am service?
A: While the hybrid gathering will only take place at the 11:15 am service, we are planning to reopen our Mountain Kids rooms for the 9:30 am service. The Mountain Kids rooms welcome children ages 2 and under. While the rooms will not be staffed, they will be available for parents with infants and toddlers as needed. These rooms offer diaper changing stations, privacy for nursing moms, and a limited amount of toys and furniture. The service will be streamed into both of these rooms. Between services, a volunteer will spray and wipe down the rooms with disinfectant.
