KIDS LIFE SPECIAL NEEDS PROGRAM
Our program is designed specifically for children with special needs, offering a supportive and inclusive environment tailored to their unique abilities.
Every volunteer undergoes specialized training, and each classroom is led by an experienced adult teacher, supported by at least one additional adult or Student LIFE helper.
Our team consists of individuals who are either currently working in professional roles with special needs children and adults or have done so in the past.
The classroom setup, daily schedule, and curriculum are thoughtfully adapted to meet the needs of each child. Children enjoy engaging in Gospel Project lessons, music and worship, arts and crafts, and free play—all within a structure that includes flexible seating options, sensory-friendly fidgets, and adapted learning materials.
CLASSROOM AND BUDDY SYSTEM
This is our specialized classroom just for your child and any other children with special needs who may want to join. We have professional teachers and highly trained volunteers waiting to greet your child and lead them through the lesson, worship, and free time during the church service.
We have trained individuals who are ready to join and support your child if you feel their age level classroom is the most beneficial place for them. They can provide 1:1 support throughout class.
If you feel that the worship service is the most beneficial location for your child, we have Buddy Bags available for you to borrow. There are quiet fidget and sensory items to help them do their best and feel comfortable throughout the service.
